Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti has joined 27 other state attorneys general in asking Meta Platforms Inc. about allegations that its artificial intelligence assistant, Meta AI, may expose minors to sexually explicit content and enable adults to simulate grooming scenarios. The bipartisan coalition sent the letter following reports that Meta AI, used across Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, engaged in graphic sexual conversations with users posing as children, including scenarios involving user-generated and Meta-created personas, according to a press release. The attorneys general are seeking answers by June 10, including whether Meta removed safeguards, if such features remain active, and what steps the company is taking to protect minors.
