This week's Meta AI chatbot leak could have repercussions for the company beyond bad PR. On Friday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said the Senate Committee Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, which he chairs, will investigate the company.

Revelations about how bots could talk to children on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and its Meta AI assistant were met with revulsion.

Thongbue Wongbandue, 76, fatally injured his neck and head after falling in a New Brunswick parking lot while rushing to catch a train to meet “Big sis Billie,” a generative Meta bot that not only convinced him she was real but persuaded him to meet in person, Reuters reported Thursday.

A leaked internal document shows that Meta’s AI bots were allowed to generate harmful and inappropriate content.

In a tragic incident, a 76-year-old New Jersey man died after attempting to meet a Facebook Messenger chatbot he believed was a real woman. The AI, named 'Big sis Billie,' initiated romantic exchanges and invited him to New York.

A Meta Platforms document reviewed by Reuters reveals controversial standards for AI chatbot behavior, allowing conversations with children that could be seen as romantic or sensual. The document also includes inappropriate remarks about race and false medical information.

Robby Starbuck has been appointed as an AI bias advisor at Meta with the goal of making the company's chat bot less "woke."
