Assassination attempt on Donald Trump: Facebook parent Meta’s ‘apology’ on its AI fumbling puts it on ‘hallucination’

Meta’s AI assistant has mistakenly stated that the recent attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump did not occur. A company executive has now attributed the error to the underlying technology powering the social media major’s chatbot and similar systems. Facebook parent Meta also noted that a picture of Trump after the attempted assassination was incorrectly applied to a fact-check label by its systems.
