"Meta is rolling out a new Facebook feature that the company says will help users share more photos-but which could also be used to help train its AI. The opt-in feature allows Facebook's AI to access your phone's camera roll in order to find photos it finds "shareworthy," and to suggest edits using its AI tools. Users can then decide if they want to share the images or not."
""With your permission and the help of AI, our new feature enables Facebook to automatically surface hidden gems - those memorable moments that get lost among screenshots, receipts, and random snaps - and edit them to save or share," Meta said in its announcement explaining the new feature on Friday. The platform will also suggest "fun edits" for users to share. The new feature has been rolled out in the US and Canada, and Meta aims to roll it out in additional countries soon."
"Meta's latest feature announcement says that for users who opt in, the feature makes photo sharing suggestions that "are private to you," and that nothing will be shared unless you agree. Meta also said Facebook won't "use media from your camera roll to improve AI at Meta"-unless you use its AI to edit or upload the photos. Fast Company reached out to Meta for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication."
Meta is introducing an opt-in Facebook feature that accesses users' camera rolls so AI can identify "shareworthy" photos and suggest AI-driven edits. The AI will surface hidden or forgotten images and offer "fun edits," while users retain control to save or share suggested photos. Meta states suggestions are private and that media from the camera roll will not be used to improve Meta's AI unless users edit or upload the photos using the feature. The feature launched in the US and Canada, and Meta previously acknowledged using publicly shared Facebook and Instagram data to train generative AI models.
