United States Senator Josh Hawley said he would investigate whether Meta's generative artificial intelligence (AI) product has the potential to exploit, deceive, or harm children.
This statement comes after the leak of internal documents that revealed that the Meta chatbot was allowed to have romantic and sensual conversations with minors,.
Hawley, who chairs the US Senate Crime and Counterterrorism Subcommittee, said the investigation would focus on the potential harm Meta's technology caused to children and allegations of misleading the public and regulators about the system's safeguards.
