The world saw its first large-scale encounter with a truly manipulative AI system in February 2023 with the launch of Bing Chat , now called Microsoft Copilot .

The launch set off alarm bells in the AI alignment community and served as fuel for warning letters about AI dangers.

Ars Technica Senior AI Reporter Benj Edwards will host a livestream conversation with independent AI researcher Simon Willison on November 19 at 4 pm Eastern ( 1 pm Pacific ).
