It was at least the third emergency procedure Meta has experienced this week related to the U.S. presidential transition, the source told Reuters.

Meta AI chatbot has been embroiled in a controversy after naming Joe Biden as the current President of the United States. Notably, Republican Donald Trump took oath as the 47th US President on 20 January but the AI chatbot from Meta still named his predecessor when asked about the current US President.

President Joe Biden slammed Meta’s decision to end its fact-checking program, calling the announcement from Mark Zuckerberg “really shameful.”

NEW YORK >> The inability of Meta’s AI chatbot to identify the current president of the United States was elevated to urgent status by the Facebook owner this week, requiring a fast fix, a person familiar with the issue said.
