“AI” coding chatbot funded by Microsoft were Actually Indians

mercredi 4 juin 2025, 01:56 , par OS News
London-based Builder.ai, once valued at $1.5 billion and backed by Microsoft and Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, has filed for bankruptcy after reports that its “AI-powered” app development platform was actually operated by Indian engineers, said to be around 700 of them, pretending to be artificial intelligence.

The startup, which raised over $445 million from investors including Microsoft and the Qatar Investment Authority, promised to make software development “as easy as ordering pizza” through its AI assistant “Natasha.” However, as per the reports, the company’s technology was largely smoke and mirrors, human developers in India manually wrote code based on customer requests while the company marketed their work as AI-generated output.

I hope those 700 engineers manage to get something out of this, but I doubt it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were unaware they were part of the “AI” scam.
