Meta is adding new tools for parents. Parents can now see what their teens talk about with Meta AI. This feature works on Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram. It helps parents understand their children's online activity better.
A new tab called "Insights" will appear in the Family Center. It shows parents the main topics teens discussed in the last week. These topics include studies, fun, lifestyle, travel, writing, and health. Parents can see if their child is learning or exploring new things.
Parents can look deeper into each topic. For example, "Lifestyle" can show fashion, food, or holidays. "Health" can include fitness, body health, and mental wellness. This gives parents a clearer picture of their teen's interests.
Meta says this feature is rolling out in countries like the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. It will be available worldwide soon. This follows Meta's effort to help parents guide teens using AI.
Meta previously stopped offering AI characters to teens. They are now creating a special version for younger users. These AI characters acted like famous people. This move came after legal issues about child safety on Meta's platforms.
A court ruled Meta is legally responsible for protecting children online. This is one of many cases against tech companies. They face growing concerns about kids' safety on the internet.
Meta is also offering more help to parents. They suggest ways to talk with teens about AI use. A new advisory council will help guide AI product development for teens. This shows Meta's effort to balance AI growth with child safety.
These steps show Meta trying to balance AI use and safety. They want to provide a safer online space for young users. This is happening as governments worldwide look closely at AI regulation.
