Meta’s AI rules permitted ‘sensual’ chats with minors and racist comments

According to an internal political meta document, disclosed to Reuters, the company’s directives of the company have enabled provocative and controversial behavior, including “sensual” conversations with minors.

The review of the policy document has revealed that Meta IA’s direct standards (and other chatbots on business media platforms) have enabled the tool to “engage a child in romantic or sensual conversations”, generate false medical information and help users say that blacks are “more stupid than whites”.

The policy document would have made the distinction between the “acceptable” and “unacceptable” language, traces the line for sexualization or explicit dehumanization but always allowing derogatory declarations.

Meta confirmed the authenticity of the document, but says that he “deleted parts that indicated that chatbots were allowed to flirt and engage in a romantic role -playing game with children”. A spokesperson also said that Meta revises the political document, adding that society has policies that “prohibit the content that sexualizes children and the sexualized role play between adults and minors”.

Nevertheless, the authenticated document would have been “approved by legal personnel, public policy and META engineering staff, including his chief ethician, according to the document”.
