Robby Starbuck, a conservative author and activist, took a swing at Meta on Friday, just a week after an executive apologized for the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) search engine spreading false information about him.
“I think it’s one of the first times I’ve ever seen a company come out in the middle of active litigation and essentially say, ‘Yeah, we did that. Sorry about that’ — which is sort of bizarre, leaves one scratching your head, like that’s a bizarre legal strategy,” Starbuck told NewsNation’s “On Balance” in an interview.
“But essentially, they admitted guilt,” he continued. “So, in one hand, I’m happy they did that, but secondarily … I’m concerned about what is the precedent for the future. Are we going to allow AI to invent whatever it wants out there as the truth, when, in fact, it’s not?”
The conservative film maker has accused Meta’s system of falsely reporting that he was present at the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and that he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. He later filed a lawsuit against the company that owns Facebook and Instagram.
