The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Thirty US states have filed a major lawsuit against Meta, alleging that AI-powered recommendation algorithms and engagement features on Facebook and Instagram have harmed minors' mental health and privacy. The states seek over $1 trillion in damages and demand significant platform changes, including removing 'likes' and endless scrolling.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves AI systems explicitly through the mention of recommendation algorithms that manipulate dopamine and user engagement, which are AI-driven features. The harm is direct and ongoing, as the lawsuit and judicial decisions link these AI systems to mental health deterioration among young users, a recognized harm to health and communities. The legal actions and demands for changes to AI features further confirm the AI system's role in causing harm. Thus, this is an AI Incident, not merely a hazard or complementary information, because the harm is realized and the AI systems are pivotal in causing it.[AI generated]
