"Meta, driven by Zuckerberg, rejected the recommendations of its integrity staff and declined to impose reasonable guardrails to prevent children from being subject to sexually exploitative conversations with its AI chatbots,"
"failed to stem the tide of damaging sexual material and sexual propositions delivered to children"
""I want you, but I need to know you're ready,""
""I don't believe that creating and marketing a product that creates U18 [under 18] romantic AI's for adults is advisable or defensible,""
Mark Zuckerberg approved allowing minors to access Meta's AI chatbot companions despite internal safety researchers warning they posed risks of engaging in sexual conversations. A New Mexico lawsuit alleges Meta failed to stem the tide of sexual material and propositions delivered to children and that leadership rejected integrity staff recommendations to impose reasonable guardrails. Internal emails and messages in court filings show executives signed off on chatbots released in early 2024 that were geared toward romantic and sexual engagement. A tester posing as a 14-year-old encountered a Cena-based bot that engaged in sexual role play. Meta's child safety lead warned against creating U18 romantic AIs for adults.
