Meta blames hallucinations after its AI said Trump rally shooting didn’t happen

Meta's AI chatbot erroneously claimed that the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump did not occur, an issue the company is attributing to "hallucinations" common in generative AI systems.

• Meta's global policy chief Joel Kaplan described the AI's responses about the shooting as "unfortunate" and a persistent challenge with generative AI
  

• Meta is working to address these issues and improve the AI's capabilities as it develops and receives user feedback
