Meta has announced robust new safeguards for its artificial intelligence (AI) products to enhance the safety of teenage users. This proactive move comes after a Reuters report highlighted concerns regarding teen interactions with AI, especially around sensitive topics.
Enhanced AI Safety Features for Teens
Meta will train its AI systems to avoid flirty conversations and steer clear of discussions about self-harm or suicide when interacting with minors. The company also plans to temporarily limit teen access to certain AI characters, ensuring a safer environment for young users. 
Meta’s Commitment to Online Safety
By implementing these changes, Meta demonstrates its ongoing commitment to online safety and responsible AI development. Parents and guardians can feel more confident about the interactions their teens have with AI-powered features on Meta’s platforms. As the company continues to innovate, safeguarding young users remains a top priority.
