Meta Automates 90% of Product Risk Assessments Using AI Systems
Meta plans to use AI-powered systems to automatically evaluate potential harms and privacy risks for up to 90% of updates to its apps like Instagram and WhatsApp, replacing human evaluators. The new system would provide instant decisions on AI-identified risks through questionnaires, allowing faster product updates but potentially creating higher risks according to former executives.
