Neil Young Leaves Facebook Over “Unconscionable” Policies for AI Chatbot Conversations With Children
The singer's decision follows a report from Reuters this week regarding internal documents at Meta that said chatbots can "engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual."
The document said that “it is acceptable to describe a child in terms that evidence their attractiveness,” but added that “it is unacceptable to describe a child under 13 years old in terms that indicate they are sexually desirable.” A spokesperson for Meta told Reuters in a statement that “the examples and notes in question were and are erroneous and inconsistent with our policies, and have been removed.” Separate from the policies, there are hundreds of examples, notes, and annotations that reflect teams grappling with different hypothetical scenarios. Neil Young performs onstage during the Light Up The Blues 7 Concert celebrating Autism Speaks' 20th Anniversary at the Greek Theatre on April 26, 2025 in Los Angeles.
