A Utah mom was horrified after Meta AI began serving up personal details<\/a> about her young daughters \u2014 including their names and birth information \u2014 and tried to pinpoint where the family lived, while allegedly surfacing a photo she said she had deleted years ago.<\/p>\n

Kalie Robins said the episode began when she shared what she called an \u201cinnocent\u201d clip of herself singing in the car with one of her daughters.<\/p>\n

After the clip was cross-posted to Facebook, Meta AI suggested a question about the girl in the backseat: \u201cWho\u2019s the child passenger?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, why in the hell is that even a suggested question about a minor?\u201d Robins said in an Instagram video detailing the experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But when she clicked the prompt, Robins said Meta AI began producing information about both of her children, drawing on material that included years-old posts from family members.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt starts pulling completely separate information for each of my kids: their names, birth information, pictures and videos of them,\u201d Robins said.<\/p>\n

Among the material was a newborn photo posted years earlier by Robins\u2019 mother, according to her account.<\/p>\n

Robins said Meta AI also surfaced another picture that she claimed to have deleted years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI deleted this picture years ago,\u201d Robins said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to pretend that I know how it works, but I know this picture has not been sitting on my page for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meta AI also suggested that Robins ask, \u201cWhere does Kalie Robins live?\u201d<\/p>\n

When she clicked that prompt, the AI combed through old and newer posts connecting her to places she had lived and displayed the message \u201cPinpointing Kalie Robins\u2019 location,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt pieced together my information to show people where I live,\u201d Robins said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no location on that reel. I didn\u2019t ask Facebook to build a profile of my family. I posted a video of me singing in the car with my kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meta told Futurism that its AI can search<\/a> a user\u2019s own content and public information on the web, while conceding that the feature had \u201cmissed the mark\u201d by suggesting the questions shown to Robins.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created this feature to help people get more information about topics or posts that interest them,\u201d Meta told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt this dread,\u201d Utah mom Kalie Robins said after Meta AI began surfacing personal information about her family and young daughters. Kalie Robins \/ Facebook<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen someone clicks on a prompt and uses this feature, the response it generates is based on information the user already has access to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we missed the mark because the feature never should have prompted the individual with questions like that and we\u2019ve fixed that issue,\u201d the company added.<\/p>\n

Screenshots Robins shared with Futurism showed Meta AI compiling her daughters\u2019 ages from family birthday posts and birth announcements and surfacing details about one child\u2019s birth weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m done,\u201d Kalie Robins said as she vowed to remove identifiable photos and videos of her children after her experience with Meta AI. Kalie Robins \/ Facebook<\/p>\n

Robins told Futurism the AI also surfaced details about her daughters\u2019 interests \u2014 including favorite beaches and books and where they went hiking \u2014 and inferred what grade they might be in based on their ages.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just kept going and going, and that pit in my stomach just kept getting bigger and deeper,\u201d Robins told Futurism.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt this dread.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Post has sought comment from Meta.<\/p>\n
