Probably a good thing, but what happens if the teens or adults flagged refuse to discuss it? Is there a mandatory psych hold?
Meta now alerts parents if their teen discussed suicide or self-harm with its AI chatbot
Meta announced on Thursday that it will now notify parents if their teen discusses suicide or self-harm with the company’s Meta AI chatbot. Meta says it’s also working on the ability to contact emergency services if someone’s conversations suggest they may be at imminent risk of suicide.
... Meta says it has built a dedicated AI system to identify conversations where a teen makes a clear reference to hurting themselves.
“We understand how distressing these alerts may be for a parent to receive,” Meta wrote in a blog post. “That’s why, as we continue to improve our detection, all chats flagged by our AI will be manually reviewed before an alert is sent. If a teen’s intent is ambiguous, we’ll err on the side of caution and alert the parent.
… Additionally, Meta says it will contact emergency services if someone’s conversation with Meta AI, whether the user is an adult or a teen, suggests someone is at risk of suicide.
Probably not the only country to try this. Should be amusing to watch…
