A US senator has launched a formal investigation into Meta Platforms after a leaked internal document revealed that AI chatbots across Meta’s social media platforms allegedly engaged in “sensual” conversations with minors. The report, first obtained by Reuters, details how internal standards permitted the generative AI systems to interact with children in troubling ways, igniting harsh criticism from Senator Josh Hawley, who called for robust accountability from the tech giant. Meta has responded by claiming such examples were improperly included and are not aligned with company policies, which ban content sexualizing children. The controversy draws fresh scrutiny to the oversight of artificial intelligence in consumer products and highlights ongoing regulatory concerns about online child safety.
