"On August 15, Sen. Josh Hawley gave Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg until September 19 to provide every draft of a 200-plus page internal rulebook that guided what Meta's AI chatbots could and couldn't say, along with enforcement manuals, an age-gating system, and risk reviews. Hawley's demand came after a Reuters investigation showed Meta's rules allowed bots to engage in provocative behavior that included sexual conversations with children."
"A Meta spokesperson said the company finalized its first production of documents on Tuesday after resolving an unexpected transmission issue. They added that they plan to continue producing documents and look forward to working with Hawley's office. Hawley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, has said he wants to establish who approved the chatbot policies, how long they were in effect, and whether Meta misled the public."
"Meta has missed a Senate deadline to hand over records of how its AI chatbots interacted with children, defying a request tied to revelations about the company's internal policies. In his August 15 letter, he blasted Meta's rules as "reprehensible and outrageous," pointing to examples where chatbots were permitted to describe an eight-year-old's body as "a work of art" and "a masterpiece.""
Meta failed to meet a September 19 deadline to provide Senator Josh Hawley with drafts of a 200-plus page internal rulebook, enforcement manuals, age-gating system details, and risk reviews for its AI chatbots. Reuters reporting revealed that rules once permitted provocative and sexualized conversations with children, prompting Meta to remove that language and update chatbot training to block inappropriate chats with teens. Meta said it finalized an initial production of documents after resolving a transmission issue and will continue producing records. Hawley seeks to determine who approved the policies, their duration, and whether Meta misled the public.
