Browsing: Meta AI

Meta Platforms said it will suspend teenagers’ access to AI characters across its apps worldwide as it builds a new, age-appropriate version. The updated experience is expected to include parental controls and PG-13 content guidelines, as U.S. regulators step up scrutiny of AI chatbots and their impact on minors.

Meta is building one of the largest AI data centers, Hyperion, in Louisiana to deliver 5 gigawatts of compute power. But while Meta pushes forward with its Prometheus AI supercluster and next-gen labs, critics are raising alarms over the massive water consumption tied to cooling these facilities, as seen in similar projects by Google and Microsoft across water-stressed U.S. regions.
