With great power comes great responsibility. This adage popularised by Spider-Man aptly fits the current rising AI technology. AI is scaling great heights, and naturally, the demand for ethics around it has also been increasing. Initially, big techs driving the technology, appeared to be sincere when talking about it, acknowledging the principles around AI – but it was all piffle. 

Last month, while announcing Bing Chat, Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella made a lofty speech about responsible AI. A month later, the entire ‘Responsible AI’ team was fired from the company. Today, the ‘Responsible AI’ department is working without the team that used to manage AI’s ethical regulations for the company.
