Meta settles with conservative activist over AI chatbot lawsuit
Robby Starbuck will advise Meta to reduce political bias and misinformation in its AI models following a lawsuit over false defamatory claims by Meta's AI chatbot, officials said.
Robby Starbuck and Meta have settled a defamation lawsuit where Starbuck alleged that Meta's AI chatbot falsely labeled him a 'White nationalist' and made other damaging claims about him.
As part of the agreement, Starbuck will serve as a consultant to Meta's Product Policy team to help address political bias in AI models.
The chatbot had recommended that Starbuck lose custody of his children, claiming he was a danger to them.
Meta has expressed a commitment to resolving political bias issues in its AI tools and stated they have made strides in accuracy since consulting with Starbuck.
