Vanderbilt University apologized after sending an email that used the artificial intelligence of a chatbot to address students about the recent shooting at Michigan State.
Vanderbilt’s Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion sent a message of unity last Thursday to students, calling the shootings that killed three students and injured five others at the East Lansing campus a “tragic reminder of the importance of taking care of each other,” and of creating a “safe and inclusive campus.”
But the Vanderbilt Hustler, the student newspaper, reported that a note at the bottom of the email indicated the message was composed by a chat bot, a text generator.
