  • Meta is suspending access for teenage boys to current AI characters across all its applications worldwide.
  • The suspension is set to last until an updated and more controlled version of AI characters is ready for this age group.
  • The new set of AI characters will feature enhanced parental control tools once released.
  • In October, Meta showcased advanced parental control tools to prevent private conversations between teenagers and AI, but they have not yet been implemented.
  • Meta’s new AI experiences aimed at teenagers will be regulated by a PG-13 rating system to restrict access to inappropriate content.
