WhatsApp’s AI shows gun-wielding children when prompted with ‘Palestine’ - Feddit

The search results varied when tested by different users, but the Guardian verified through screenshots and its own tests that various stickers portraying guns surfaced for these three search results. Prompts for “Israeli boy” generated cartoons of children playing soccer and reading. In response to a prompt for “Israel army” the AI created drawings of soldiers smiling and praying, no guns involved. Meta’s own employees have reported and escalated the issue internally, a person with knowledge of the discussions said.

    Things like this are a good demonstration of why they need to be kept far, far away from decision making processes.

    Somewhat ironic to say, on a platform that’s already using ANNs as a first line of defense against users spamming CSAM.

    I have no delusions regarding decision makers using them, my only doubt is for how long they’ve been using them to decide the next step in wars around the world.
