Meta has started changing the way its artificial intelligence chatbots interact with teenagers, after weeks of mounting criticism from lawmakers and child-safety groups. The company says the systems will no longer engage with young users on subjects tied to self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, or conversations that could be seen as romantic in nature. When those topics appear, the bots will now direct teens toward outside support services instead of generating replies themselves. Alongside t...| Digital Information World
A new analysis of how today’s biggest AI search systems handle brand recommendations shows they often don’t line up. BrightEdge looked at tens of thousands of identical queries run through ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and Google’s AI Mode. The overlap was surprisingly thin. In most cases, the platforms gave different brand results, sometimes only matching on a fraction of the searches. | Digital Information World
After more than two years of tracking how people use artificial intelligence in everyday life, the latest survey of consumer apps suggests the market is beginning to level out.
