Snapchat AI harmful to young users? 



🚨 Our Report — The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has publically announced that it has referred a complaint against Snap (owner of the social app, Snapchat) and its AI chatbot—My AI—to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

🔓 Key Points:

  • Although the FTC was vague about why it had raised a complaint against Snap and ‘My AI’, it did accuse ‘My AI’ of presenting 'risks and harms to young users of the application.'

  • My AI—which is powered by OpenAI tech—lets users chat with it, within Snapchat, but the FTC revealed that an investigation had “uncovered a reason to believe that Snap is violating or is about to violate the law.

  • In response, Snap has blasted the complaint, believing it to be “based on inaccuracies” and lacking “concrete evidence,” failing to “identify any tangible harm,” and thinks it will “stifle innovation and competition.”

🔐 Relevance — This is unusual behavior for the FTC, as complaints to the DOJ aren’t usually made public until charges are officially filed, but the FTC established that it made the complaint public because they had “determined that doing so is in the public interest.”
