Meta AI App Exposes Users' Private Chats in Discover Feed

  • Meta's AI app, launched April 29, exposes users' AI chat prompts and responses publicly in a feed linked to their social media accounts.
  • This happened because Meta did not clearly inform users about privacy settings or that their AI interactions would appear publicly, leading to unintentional exposure.
  • Users have posted sensitive content including personal questions, legal details, and medical issues, some traceable to their Instagram or Facebook handles.
  • Rachel Tobac emphasized that when users' assumptions about how a tool operates differ from its actual behavior, it can lead to significant issues with both user experience and security.
  • The app's privacy defaults have sparked concerns of a major privacy failure and user embarrassment, raising questions about Meta's handling of user data and AI transparency.
