Snapchat Adds New Safeguards Around its AI Chatbot
TECHDIGEST– Snapchat is launching new tools, including an age filter and insights for parents, to improve its AI chatbot.
Days after Snapchat launched its GPT-powered chatbot for Snapchat+ subscribers, a Washington Post report highlighted that the bot was responding in an unsafe and inappropriate manner.
Snap said it learned that people were trying to “trick the chatbot into providing responses that do not conform to our guidelines,” and the new tools are meant to keep the AI’s responses in check.

In the coming weeks, Snap also plans to provide more insights to parents or guardians about children’s interactions with the chatbot in its Family Center, launched last August. The new feature will tell parents or guardians how their kids are communicating with the chatbot and the frequency of those interactions. Both the guardian and teens need to opt-in to using Family Center to use these parental control features.
