New York: WhatsApp\u2019s new AI-powered stickers have landed the social media giant in a massive controversy, with the new upgrade showing images of children holding guns in response to prompts about Palestine.<\/span><\/p>\n Meta-owned WhatsApp\u2019s artificial intelligence (AI) feature that allows users produce stickers based on their search displays a picture of a gun or a boy with a gun when prompted with the terms \u201cPalestinian\u201d, \u201cPalestine\u201d or \u201cMuslim boy Palestinian\u201d, media reported. When prompted for \u201cIsraeli boy\u201d, the AI-generated cartoons of children playing soccer and reading, while for \u201cIsrael army\u201d it created drawings of soldiers smiling and praying with no guns involved, according to The Guardian.<\/p>\n The discovery comes as Meta has faced criticism from Instagram and Facebook users who are posting \u201cpro-Palestinian\u201d content. As the Israeli bombardment of Gaza continues, users claim Meta is enforcing their moderation policies in a biased manner, amounting to censorship, the report mentioned.<\/p>\n However, a Meta spokesperson said the company was aware of the issue and addressing it. \u201cAs we said when we launched the feature, the models could return inaccurate or inappropriate outputs as with all generative AI systems. We\u2019ll continue to improve these features as they evolve and more people share their feedback,\u201d Meta spokesperson Kevin McAlister was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n Users also reported that Instagram translated \u201cPalestinian\u201d followed by the phrase \u201cPraise be to Allah\u201d in the Arabic language to \u201cPalestinian terrorist\u201d on multiple occasions. The company later apologised for that by calling it a \u201cglitch\u201d.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] New York: WhatsApp\u2019s new AI-powered stickers have landed the social media giant in a massive controversy, with the new upgrade showing images of children holding guns in response to prompts about Palestine.
