Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta says it has fixed a flaw in its AI system that suggested prompts surfacing personal information about users, including their children, after a viral complaint from an Instagram creator.
\n\nCNET reports that parenting and lifestyle blogger Kalie Robins, known on Instagram as kontheinside, posted a video in early September describing what happened after she shared a clip of herself singing in a car with her daughter in the backseat. Under that post, Meta AI suggested prompts including “Who’s the child passenger?” and “Where does Kalie Robins live?”
\n\nRobins said clicking those prompts led the AI to comb through her past posts and assemble private details, including her location. The system also pulled from other accounts, she said, including her mother’s profile, and surfaced data from a photo she believed had been deleted years earlier.
\n\n“I did not understand posting separate innocent pieces of our lives over years could mean an AI could sit there and assemble all those breadcrumbs into information about my minor children in seconds,” Robins said in the video.
