Meta seems to have finally taken a small step to tackle the epidemic that occurs in the public pace in the public feed of its application Ai. The company has added a brief resignation that warns users to “avoid sharing personal or sensitive information” on the Post to feed “button” to the Meta Ai application.
The change was first by Business Insiderthan The application “one of the most depressing online places” due to the large volume of intimate, shameful and sometimes personally identifying Meta-AI users, apparently unwittingly, publicly shared in the “Discover” Feed integrated of the application. Although Meta Ai does not default the stories of Chat of the users do not default, it seems that many of the users of the application were deciding to “share” their interactions without realizing that they would make visible voice and text chats to the public.
Last week, I found publications where users asked for advice on “improving intestinal movements” and asking if a family member could be responsible for their employer’s unpaid taxes. Another user “Keep this private” in its public publications in an apparent attempt to hide its shameful chats after the fact. This type of strange public interactions has occurred since the Meta Ai application was published in April, but received renewed care last week after social media users started release About all the strange conversations that were visible to the “Discover” Feed of the application.
Privacy experts criticized the finish line, saying that most of the other Chat of AI do not include a socially and publicly visible feed. “If a user’s expectations about how a tool’s functions do not match reality, you have a big user problem and security problems,” Rachel Tobac, a security expert who has been associated with Meta, Last week. “Humans have created a scheme around Ai’s chat boats and do not expect their bot of chat ai to be shown in a discovery feed in the style of social media, it is not the operation of other tools.” The Mozilla Foundation Meta to change application design. “The application of Meta Ai does not make it clear that what you share is fully public,” he wrote There is no clear iconography last week, there is no family signs about sharing as in other meta applications. “”
Now, the company has apparently taken note. With the change, the choice of sharing a meta -ai interaction publicly demands the notice seen above, although it only seems to appear in the first participation. “The directions they publish are public and visible to everyone,” he says. “Your directions can be suggested by Meta in other METAs applications. Avoid sharing personal or sensitive information.”
As Business Insider Notes, the application public feed also seems to no longer include text exchanges that other users have shared with the application, only images and video generated by AI. It is unclear whether it is a permanent change or the result of recent negative care received by the application. We have contacted Meta for more information and update if we listen again.
In the meantime, if you have found a victim of unwanted public publications in the application, you can eliminate your profile in the upper right hand side of the application, directing -vos a Data and privacy -> Manage your information -> Have all public directions visible to you and selecting “Apply to all.”
