According to reports, Facebook’s upcoming AI-powered search feature will use public posts, comments, and other publicly available content as data transform the platform’s search bar into a conversational AI assistant capable of answering users’ questions instead of simply displaying keyword-based results

With this feature, users will be able to search through years-old public posts and comments in a question-and-answer format, making it much easier to find information that was previously buried among thousands of posts

While experts say the AI-powered search will improve access to information, they also warn that it could increase privacy and online security risks. Publicly available content may become easier for cybercriminals, scammers, and fraudsters to analyze, potentially allowing them to target users more effectively

Experts advise Facebook users to avoid making personal posts public whenever possible. Instead, they recommend limiting post visibility to Friends or selected audiences. Users can also use Facebook’s “Limit Past Posts” privacy tool in the platform’s settings to change the audience of previously shared public posts to Friends Only

Security experts further encourage users to review their privacy settings regularly and avoid sharing sensitive personal information on social media to reduce the risk of misuse as AI-powered search technologies continue to evolve.
