Meta Platforms is enhancing parental controls for teens interactions with artificial intelligence chatbots, allowing parents to block specific chatbots and gain insights into their childrens conversations.

• Beginning early next year, Meta Platforms will introduce parental controls for interactions with artificial intelligence chatbots, enabling parents to disable one-on-one chats entirely.
• Parents will have the option to block specific chatbots, providing a tailored approach to managing their teens online interactions on platforms like Instagram.
• Meta AI will offer parents insights into their childrens conversations with AI characters, although these insights will not include access to the full chat logs.
