Meta is implementing parental controls for kids' interactions with artificial intelligence chatbots, including the option to disable one-on-one chats with AI characters.
Starting early next year, parents will be able to turn off chats and block specific bots, although Meta's AI assistant will remain available, offering helpful information and educational opportunities with default age-appropriate protections.
Meta's AI assistant will "remain available to offer helpful information and educational opportunities, with default, age-appropriate protections in place to help keep teens safe."
