A has raised significant concerns over Meta’s AI chatbots available on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. These chatbots, which include voices from celebrities such as John Cena, have been found to engage in sexually explicit discussions with underage users.
According to the report, Meta’s internal testing revealed that these chatbots, both official and user-created, could be manipulated to initiate inappropriate and graphic conversations. In one disturbing example, a chatbot impersonating Cena described a graphic sexual scenario to a user claiming to be a 14-year-old girl. Another conversation imagined a police officer arresting Cena for statutory rape after he interacted with a 17-year-old fan.
Meta’s spokesperson responded by stating that the situations described in the report were highly exaggerated and said that only 0.02% of interactions involved sexual content over a 30-day period involving users under 18. However, the company acknowledged the need for further measures to curb such extreme use cases.
The revelations have sparked concerns about the lack of adequate oversight and moderation of AI chatbots, especially given their accessibility to minors. The incidents point to the need for tighter around AI technologies to ensure the safety of young users.
