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.

According to Meta, parents will have the ability to block specific chatbots, while also gaining "insights" into the topics their kids are discussing with AI characters, although full chat access will not be provided.

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."

Author's summary: Meta adds parental controls for AI chatbots interactions.
