The Battle Within Meta Over Chatbot Safety
Manage episode 485293970 series 3208963
Meta has gone all in on chatbots. The bots are capable of giving advice, answering questions and playing games with users. Some feature the licensed voices of some celebrities.

Some people inside the company are concerned. Jeff Horwitz reports and Kate Linebaugh hosts for the last time.
