Meta has announced its return to training AI models on public content from Facebook and Instagram users in the EU. This decision follows regulatory pressures and a pause on similar training due to stringent privacy laws in the European Union, specifically the GDPR. After initially halting these efforts due to concerns from the Irish Data Protection Commission, Meta has re-engaged with regulators and is now set to leverage user-generated content for AI training as it introduces new features and tools in this market.
"Last year, we delayed training our large language models using public content while regulators clarified legal requirements. We welcome the opinion provided by the EDPB in December..."
"Since then, we have engaged constructively with the IDPC and look forward to continuing to bring the full benefits of generative AI to people in Europe."
