Summary | Artificial intelligence is the new big thing but it is mostly geared towards commercial services like ordering pizza, etc. Microsoft for instance proudly announced that their AI assistant can now even understand slang inputs. But this way of learning from actual users has shown to be risky when Microsoft released their AI robot Tay on Twitter and people trolled them by teaching Tay offensive things.

YouTube reverses some restrictions on LGBT-themed content following uproar

Summary | Much of the LGBT content on YouTube is hidden when using the restricted mode. This is a setting that few users use, some parents, schools, libraries, et cetera. This mode is supposed to block out violent, dangerous, or sexual content showing nudity. Many creators came forth on Twitter and criticized YouTube for blocking their videos in the restricted mode despite there being no nudity or violence. Just topics around sexuality and health. YouTube has been adamant about clarifying that this is a bug in the algorithm and that they are fixing it but have not given a comprehensive list of their guidelines that make content "sensitive" so that it would disappear in the restricted mode.
