Meta makes conservative activist an AI bias advisor following lawsuit
Meta has tapped conservative activist Robby Starbuck—fresh off a lawsuit over its AI chatbot falsely linking him to the Jan. 6 riot—to advise on ideological and political bias. Starbuck, known for pressuring firms to ditch DEI programs, says his input could shape industry-wide election fairness. The settlement follows a Trump executive order targeting “woke” AI and comes amid Meta’s broader legal payouts, including a $25 million settlement with former President Trump.
