TikTok is testing an AI chatbot called Tako

TikTok is testing an AI chatbot called Tako in select markets, helping users answer various questions or recommend new content.

To keep up with the AI ​​chatbot trend that is taking the world by storm, TikTok has also tested its own tool. Tako appears on the right side of the app screen, above the user's profile and the like, save, and comment buttons. When clicked, users can ask the Tako chatbot many questions related to the video or discover new content through recommendations.

The first to discover that TikTok was testing Tako was app analytics firm Watchful.ai. However, while Watchful.ai said it found the AI ​​chatbot on iOS devices in the US, TikTok said the chatbot was not being tested there but in other markets like the Philippines.

TikTok will display a message clarifying that Tako is considered experimental and feedback may be inaccurate or inaccurate for users who try it.

Additionally, TikTok emphasizes that AI chatbots should not be used for medical, legal, or financial advice. Conversations with Tako will be evaluated for safety and user experience purposes.

However, the security issue is a question mark because conversations with AI will not be deleted after ending, which poses many potential risks. Some companies have also sought to overcome this concern by allowing users to manually delete chats, such as Snap is doing with the My AI chatbot on the app. TikTok applies a similar approach by allowing users to delete chats with Tako.

Security risks to AI chatbots have led some companies, including Apple, to ban them from their workplaces, fearing that employees will expose company secrets.
