Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced a new tool to allow parents to see what their children are discussing with its AI bots. While parents are already given alerts if their children engage with topics like suicide or self-harm, the new tool will give them a more detailed overview of their children’s AI discussions.
Beginning on April 23, parents using the supervision tools offered by Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram will have access to an "Insights" tab. One of the options within the tab is labeled "Their AI Interactions" and provides a list of topics their children have discussed with Meta's chatbots over previous seven days.
