Wanted: 2,000 Engineers
TAKENAKA HARUKATA When the digital agency, set to be launched in September 2021, builds a new system, how many engineers will it need?
KAWABE KENTARŌ Yahoo offers a service for 80 million people with around 3,000 engineers. This also includes the front end, and so for the new agency we figure around 2,000 people will be needed.

The South Korean developer of a controversial chatbot said Friday it will discard all data and learning algorithms used in training the artificial intelligence (AI) platform amid mounting criticism over its data collection process and hate speech.
Scatter Lab, a Seoul-based startup, said it has decided to pull the plug on its 20-year-old female chatbot persona called Lee Luda and dispose of its database and deep learning algorithms to address concerns among its users.
The company on Monday temporarily suspended the Facebook-based chatbot, 20 days after beginning its service, in response to complaints over its discriminatory and offensive language against sexual minorities. Some male users were even able to manipulate the bot into engaging in sexual conversations.
