Poisoning: Meta Reportedly Hired Contractors to Systematically Sabotage ChatGPT and Gemini on a Large Scale

Meta, through hundreds of foreign contractors, conducted a secret project named "Cannes" to test competitors' AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Character.AI. The contractors posed as minors, including 13-year-old girls, to send over 45,000 prompts involving disturbing content about suicide, sex, drugs, and eating disorders, aiming to probe the models' safety guardrails. While Meta claims this was "responsible, standard industry practice" for safety testing, critics argue the secretive, large-scale operation using fake accounts to systematically break rules goes far beyond ethical benchmarking and serves as anti-competitive intelligence gathering. None of the targeted companies were informed or authorized the tests. Separately, a report revealed Meta contractors in Kenya were reviewing private user videos—including scenes of people in bathrooms, changing, or engaged in sexual activity—captured by Meta's Ray-Ban AI glasses, often without explicit user knowledge. These incidents highlight Meta's willingness to outsource ethical risks and privacy violations in its pursuit of AI dominance.

Trump Halts AI Executive Order, Regulatory Efforts Succumb to Competitive Anxiety

In a last-minute reversal, former President Donald Trump halted the signing of a long-anticipated executive order on artificial intelligence. The order had sought to establish a voluntary, pre-release safety testing framework for advanced AI models developed by leading companies like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI. Under the proposed plan, companies would have shared their most powerful models with the U.S. government 90 days before public release for national security and cybersecurity risk assessments. Trump refused to approve the order, stating he did not want anything to "slow down our leadership," emphasizing America's lead over China in AI and the technology's role in job creation. This decision highlights the core tension in U.S. AI policy: balancing the management of systemic risks posed by frontier models—such as exposing financial system vulnerabilities—against fears that any regulation could stifle innovation and undermine competitive advantage. The move came despite significant public support for AI safety testing and followed internal administration debates. Some officials, alarmed by the capabilities of models like Anthropic's Mythos in uncovering critical security flaws, had advocated for stronger oversight. However, the industry and many within Trump's circle opposed even this voluntary framework, arguing it would hamper American innovation. The incident underscores how AI policy is increasingly intersecting with national security, economic strategy, and political governance.
