Meta to Automate 90% of Product Risk Assessments with AI

Meta, a leading technology company, is embarking on a significant shift in its product risk assessment processes. By leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), Meta aims to automate a large portion of reviews for its popular applications like Instagram and WhatsApp. This move signifies a major departure from the traditional human-centric approach to safety evaluations. According to reports citing internal documents, Meta plans to implement an AI system that will assess potential harms and privacy risks associated with product updates. The goal is to have the AI handle up to 90% of these reviews. This process involves product teams submitting questionnaires about proposed changes. Subsequently, the AI will provide an instant decision-identifying potential risks and outlining any requirements before updates can be deployed.
