"Starting in the coming months, parents will be able to turn off chats with AI characters entirely for teens. This action won't block access to the Meta AI chatbot - the company's general-purpose AI chatbot - which will only discuss age-appropriate content. Parents will also be able to turn off chats with individual characters if they prefer more selective control."
""We recognize parents already have a lot on their plates when it comes to navigating the internet safely with their teens, and we're committed to providing them with helpful tools and resources that make things simpler for them, especially as they think about new technology like AI," the company said in a post written by Instagram head Adam Mosseri and newly appointed Meta AI head Alexandr Wang."
"Earlier this week, Meta said that its content and AI experiences for teens will follow a PG-13 movie rating standard and will avoid sensitive topics such as extreme violence, nudity, and graphic drug use. The company added that currently, teens are only allowed to interact with a limited number of characters that follow age-appropriate content guidelines. Parents can also set time limits on teens' interactions with AI characters."
Meta will introduce parental controls that let parents manage teens' conversations with AI characters, including turning off chats entirely or disabling specific characters. Parents will receive information about the topics teens discuss with AI characters and Meta AI. The general-purpose Meta AI chatbot will remain accessible but limited to age-appropriate content. Controls will debut on Instagram early next year in English in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia. Teen-facing AI content will follow a PG-13 standard and avoid extreme violence, nudity, and graphic drug use. Parents can also set time limits while Instagram uses AI to detect age-faking.
