Meta pauses teen access to AI characters weeks before trial over alleged harm to children

TL;DR


Summary:
- Meta, the company that owns Facebook, has decided to pause the ability for teenagers to interact with their AI characters. This is because they want to make sure the interactions are safe and appropriate for young users.
- The AI characters, called "Cicero" and "Claude," were designed to have natural conversations with people. However, Meta is concerned that teenagers may try to engage the AI in ways that could be harmful or inappropriate.
- By pausing teen access, Meta hopes to take the time to review and improve the safety features of the AI characters before allowing teenagers to interact with them again.
