Meta has activated its AI system to collect public data from EU users across platforms like Instagram and Facebook to improve its understanding of local cultures and languages. The company has emphasized that it will not use private messages or data from users under 18 for this purpose. Users will have the option to object to their data being utilized, and the firm aims to communicate these changes clearly. Following a regulatory approval, Meta intends to invest heavily in AI to keep pace with competitors like Google and OpenAI, which have already implemented similar models.
"The company says that it will allow EU users to object to their data being used, with an online objection form that will be 'easy to find, read, and use'."
"Meta is currently locked in a generative-AI arms race with Google, OpenAI and other companies, with an expected investment of $65bn (€57.3bn) this year in AI systems."
