Meta said it is changing the prompts suggested by Meta AI after a viral video showed the assistant posing invasive personal questions about a woman's young daughters, according to a Verge report summarized by Techmeme.

The report says the change follows a video in which Meta AI prompted a user to identify the child in one of her videos. The supplied summary does not specify the new prompt behavior, the rollout timing, or whether the change applies to all users or regions.

Meta has not stated how it will verify the revised prompts avoid similar personal questions.
