We're exclusively reporting Conservative activist Robby Starbuck has filed a defamation lawsuit against Google alleging its AI tools falsely conn him to sexual assault claims and to a white nationalist. Starbuck first became aware of this in 2023 when Google's Bard connected him to white nationalist Richard Spencer. He took to social media then to call out Google and express the dangers of falsehoods generated by AI. The lawsuit, which also says newer tools put forth false claims that Starbuck had been accused of sexual assault, seeks more than $15 million in damages. A spokesman for Google said that the company addressed the 2023 claims in 2023. Ann went on to say that in information is a well known issue for chatbots. This is the second AI related defamation suit that Starbuck has filed this year against a large tech company, with a suit against Meta being the first. Tinder is rolling out a safety feature that requires video scans of users faces before swiping, according to Yoel Roth, who heads trust and safety at Tinder's parent company Match Group. The feature aims to boost trust among those on the app as well as cut down on bots, duplicate accounts and impersonation, and prevent ban users from returning to the platform. The feature will roll out across the US in the coming months and globally where local regulations allow it. It's already required for new users in California as well as Canada, Australia and India, where user exposure to bad actors has fallen more than 60%. And we have another exclusive report.
