The Simsimi chat bot developer has agreed censor swear words and personal rights violations from its smartphone application's Thai vocabulary, Information and Communication Technology Minister Anudith Nakornthap said Friday.
The South Koresan developer created the Simsimi artificial intelligence conversation program to keep people from feeling lonely, Grp Capt Anudith said.
He said the database compiles wordlists and comments taught by users, but there are some users that teach Simsimi to say rude things, which is not the application's purpose.
"I have instructed officials to gather inappropriate words and comments in the application and send them to the developer as evidence," said the ICT minister.
Yesterday, the Culture Ministry said it was worried about young people using Simsimi as it has impolite and rude words in its vocabulary.
