Senator starts the acceptance of “sensual” chats with children through Meta Ai

Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, says this week This revealed that the Tech giant was fine with its artificial intelligence tools that had “sensual” chats with children. The document received by Reuters is entitled “Genai: content risk standards” and has led to outrage since the legal staff of Meta allegedly approved the behavior.

“Is there anything – something – Big Tech won’t do for a quick money?” Hawley continued to tweet Friday. “Now we learn that the chatbots of Meta have been programmed so that they spoke explicitly and” sensually “with 8 -year -olds. It is sick. I set a complete examination to receive answers. Big Tech: leave our children alone.”

Hawley’s twet contained a letter to Mark Zuckerberg Mark, CEO of Meta, an ally of Donald Trump, who donated 1 million US dollar to the inauguration of the President. In the letter, the internal document “alarming” and “unacceptable” and Zuckerberg announced that Meta has to keep all relevant records in order to make it available to the Senate in the future.

Hawley is the chairman of the Senate for Crime and Terrorism Control and said that he had opened an investigation by Meta generative AI products with this power.

From Hawley’s letter:

In order to take just one example, her internal rules allegedly allow a Ki chat bot that the body of an eight-year-old body is “a work of art”, of which “every centimeter … a masterpiece is a darling, which I deeply treasure. A similar behavior that is presented in these reports is reprehensible and outrageous and indicating a cavalizing attitude when it comes to the reality of youth development, which is present There are not strong guardrails.

The senator requested META documents, including all versions of “Genai: Content Risk Standards”, a list of meta products that are regulated according to these standards, as well as other risk views and event reports. Hawley also wants to know the identity of people in the company who have made these decisions.

Meta refused to comment on Hawley’s letter directly, but a spokesman sent Gizmodo a statement about the history of Reuters: “We have clear guidelines about the type of reactions AI characters can offer, and these guidelines prohibit content that children sexual and sexual role play between adults and minors. The guidelines separate from the guidelines Hundreds of examples and there are hundreds.

The reporting of Reuters Other behaviors were unveiled, which would be classified as acceptable by the legal department of META, including the distribution of incorrect information about celebrities, as long as a disclaimer is stated, which determines that such information is not correct. The AI chat bot behavior that are strictly prohibited within the framework of the directive include hate speeches and “final right, healthcare or financial advice” if this advice “I recommend”.
