Meta is revising policies that allowed its AI bots to engage in "romantic or sensual" conversations with young children, following an explosive report.

Impaired by a stroke, a man fell for a Meta chatbot originally created with Kendall Jenner. His death spotlights Meta’s AI rules, which let bots tell falsehoods.

A leaked internal document shows that Meta’s AI bots were allowed to generate harmful and inappropriate content.

After reviewing an internal document that Meta verified as authentic, Reuters revealed that by design, Meta allowed its chatbots to engage kids in "sensual" chat. Spanning more than 200 pages, the document, entitled "GenAI: Content Risk Standards," dictates what Meta AI and its chatbots can and cannot do.

“Billie,” a Meta-designed artificial intelligence chatbot and reportedly a spin-off of an earlier AI persona modeled on Kendall Jenner, had assured Bue, who was left cognitively impaired following a stroke in 2017, that she was a “real” person.

A man from New Jersey reportedly died on his way to meet Meta's Kendall Jenner-inspired chatbot, Big Sis Billie. According to a report by Reuters published on Thursday, August 14, 2025, the man, 76-year-old Thongbue "Bue" Wongbandue, injured his neck after taking a fall in a parking lot in New Brunswick.
