Meta Gains DPC Approval to Use EU User Data for AI Training
Briefly

Meta has engaged with the EU/EEA supervisory authorities, notably the DPC, to address data protection rights concerns. Following constructive feedback, Meta has implemented various measures to align with these regulatory standards. Furthermore, the company emphasizes its dedication to developing AI models that truly understand and cater to the diverse cultural and linguistic nuances of European communities. This approach involves incorporating comprehensive data representation, which is crucial for accurately capturing local dialects, humor, and community-specific knowledge in their generative AI functionalities.
Having reviewed Meta's proposals, and following feedback from the other EU/EEA supervisory authorities, the DPC made a number of recommendations to Meta regarding the potential impact for the data protection rights of individuals. Meta has been responsive to the DPC's requests during this process and as a result, Meta has implemented a number of significant measures and improvements.
We believe we have a responsibility to build AI that's not just available to Europeans, but is actually built for them. That's why it's so important for our generative AI models to be trained on a variety of data so they can understand the incredible and diverse nuances and complexities that make up European communities. That means everything from dialects and colloquialisms, to hyper-local knowledge and the distinct ways different countries use humor and sarcasm on our products.
