AI: The Uncanny Valley of Chatbots and Ethical Dilemmas
Meta recently unveiled an AI chatbot named Billie, which bears an uncanny resemblance to supermodel Kendall Jenner. Created using Jenner's likeness, Billie has already amassed a significant following on Instagram. While some find the chatbot innovative, others have expressed concerns about the ethical implications of using a celebrity's likeness in this manner. The chatbot is part of Meta's broader strategy to roll out AI chat assistants across various platforms, including WhatsApp and Messenger. The company has also enlisted other celebrities and influencers to create AI characters with unique interests and personalities.
