San Francisco – Tech giant Meta is under fire after reports emerged that the company created AI chatbots modeled on celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson, designed to engage in flirtatious conversations with users.
Critics argue that the move raises serious ethical concerns, including issues of consent, exploitation of celebrity likeness, and potential harm to users, especially younger audiences. Digital rights groups and online users have condemned the company, calling the practice “misleading” and “irresponsible.”
Neither Swift nor Johansson have publicly endorsed such projects, and questions remain over whether their permission was sought. Meta has not yet issued a detailed response to the growing criticism.
