An internal Meta document detailing policies on chatbot behavior has permitted the company¡¯s artificial intelligence creations to ¡°engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,¡± generate false medical information and help users argue that Black people are ¡°dumber than white people.¡±
The Meta document discusses the standards that guide its generative AI assistant, Meta AI, and chatbots available on Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, the company¡¯s social media platforms.
Meta confirmed the document¡¯s authenticity, but said that after receiving questions earlier this month, the company removed portions which stated it is permissible for chatbots to flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children.
