Meta is tightening the safety of its AI chatbots to ensure that they cannot talk about suicide, self-harm, and eating disorders with teenagers and refer them instead to professional assistance. The choice comes after a backlash on leaked documents and reports of unseemly celebrity-impersonating chatbots.

It is currently working on updating its AI.
