Meta says it’s changing AI suggestions after posing invasive personal questions

Meta is fixing Meta AI suggested prompts after a viral video showed the chatbot compiling invasive questions about a user's children from her Facebook posts.

Meta said it 'missed the mark' and has fixed the issue after Instagram user Kalie Robins showed Meta AI suggesting 'Who is the child passenger?' beneath a video with her child and then piecing together details about her daughters from her and relatives' posts. The assistant also surfaced photos of her children, including one the user claims she deleted years ago. Meta AI is embedded in Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger; in July the company pulled an Instagram user-deepfake feature after backlash.

Instagram’s AI detection is a mess (again)

Instagram is mislabeling ordinary edited photos as AI Content while some AI imagery goes unlabeled, repeating a 2024 detection failure.

The Verge documents weeks of erroneous AI Content labels on Instagram, including images edited only with Canva's Background Remover or an iPhone Photos app, while some generative images escape tagging. Canva said some of its assistive AI tools were being tagged as generative and claims the issue is fixed, though users still report tagging. Meta scans IPTC and C2PA metadata and uses signals like Google's SynthID, but remains vague about detection criteria; one tester found only Meta AI-created or edited images reliably triggered labels, and an image-poisoned photo was tagged. A similar mislabeling wave hit Instagram in 2024.
