Meta Introduces Parental Controls for AI Chatbots
Meta is introducing parental controls for kids' interactions with artificial intelligence chatbots, allowing parents to turn off one-on-one chats with AI characters.
Starting early next year, parents will have the ability to block specific chatbots and receive insights into their kids' conversations with AI characters, while Meta's AI assistant will remain available with default age-appropriate protections.
Parents won’t be able to turn off Meta’s AI assistant, which will “remain available to offer helpful information and educational opportunities, with default, age-appropriate protections in place to help keep teens safe.”
