Sen. Hawley to probe Meta after report finds its AI chatbots flirt with kids
“Is there anything - ANYTHING - Big Tech won’t do for a quick buck?” Hawley wrote in a post on X announcing the investigation.
Reuters broke the story after viewing the guidelines, titled “GenAI: Content Risk Standards.” The document noted, among other things, that chatbots were permitted to hold romantic conversations with an eight-year-old that said, “Every inch of you is a masterpiece – a treasure I cherish deeply.” Hawley has asked Meta to produce the guidelines, including every draft, redline, and final version, as well as lists of every product that adheres to those standards, other safety and incident reports, and the identities of individuals responsible for changing policy.
