Meta AI turns private AI chats into public posts without knowledge
Meta AI app turned out to be a real catastrophe for user privacy. Turning their private conversations with artificial intelligence into public content. Imagine a modern horror movie: your entire query history became publicly accessible, and you didn’t even suspect it.
The leak mechanism is simple and insidious. When asking a question to artificial intelligence, users see a “share” button that opens a publication preview. However, many people seem to completely fail to realize they’re publishing their text conversations, audio recordings and images for public viewing.
The scale of the problem is serious. Journalists discovered publicly accessible requests for help with tax evasion, questions about possible arrest of family members related to economic crimes, and requests to write character references for employees with legal problems. And all this with their full names indicated! Security experts found examples of home address leaks and confidential court case data.
The main problem is that Meta doesn’t show users their privacy settings at the moment of publication. And doesn’t even explain where exactly the publication happens. If you logged into Meta AI through Instagram and your Instagram account is public, then your search queries also become public property.
