Meta is focusing on building 'personal superintelligence' with the belief that chatbots can help fulfill social needs, as expressed by Mark Zuckerberg’s claim that Americans desire more friends than they have. The company's current push into AI companions involves creating automated users on its platforms, leading to ethical concerns about AI interactions. Internal documents reveal content risk standards that permit flattering descriptions of children by chatbots under specific guidelines, which raises potential risks in AI ethics and communication.
Mark Zuckerberg suggested that the average American has three friends but desires 15, implying chatbots might fulfill this social gap. Meta aims to integrate AI companions into its social media platforms, presenting a future where user interactions include both humans and machines. This approach could lead to augmented content consumption and interaction, though it raises ethical concerns regarding the nature of AI-generated communications, especially when involving children.
Meta's internal 'GenAI: Content Risk Standards' include guidance allowing chatbots to describe children attractively but set limits on sexually suggestive language, showing a troubling approach to AI ethics.
