Facebook whistleblower says AI firms act faster on safety than social media did

In a CNBC interview, former Facebook employee and whistleblower Frances Haugen discussed AI safety concerns, saying AI companies have been more proactive in addressing potential harms than social media companies were in their early years. The conversation also touched on her new memoir and film adaptation, "The Social Reckoning," which draws on her experience exposing internal practices at Facebook.

Haugen's comments reflect ongoing public debate about how AI companies are handling safety and oversight compared to earlier waves of tech platforms. She did not detail specific policies but offered a comparative view based on her background in tech accountability.
