AI is preying on children

Artificial intelligence can do some incredible things. According to a thread on X, a father asked Grok to diagnose his daughter’s X-ray, and it did it faster than the doctor’s office. But there are also great risks to AI usage. Is AI like the iPad and iPhone that we thought would be great for children, until it turned out they were not?

The Wall Street Journal unmasked a darker side to AI through prompting exercises to see how the Meta AI system would react, and the result was disturbing. Meta, the owner of Meta AI, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, WhatsApp, Meta Quest, Giphy, and more, was exposed as allowing its new artificial intelligence platform to communicate inappropriate and “romantic roleplay” behavior with minors.
