Meta has announced that it is prepared to start using the data of EU users of their apps, including those of Facebook and Instagram, To train your AI. The company will use the post public, the chat history to provide data to Meta AI, which began its deployment in the EU a few weeks ago. Of course, he announces that he will not use private messages, nor the contents of accounts of minors.
According to the company, it will begin to notify its users in the European Union this week, through notifications in the apps they use and email.
In the messages in which I communicate that they will begin to use what they publish to train the goal there will be a link with an objection form for those who want their contents not to be used for it. This link will also probably be integrated into the terms of its privacy policy.
Meta paused his training plans in Europe after the regulatory authorities of Ireland asked him. Now he has decided to move forward with his original plans. The company alleges that you will train its AI with data from EU users to help you create models that reflect the situation, society and operation of the areas in which they are used.
He also points out that in this way he will be able to understand everything, from dialects and colloquialisms, to hyperlocal data and the different ways in which countries emperate humor and sarcasm. According to the company, this is important above all for the text, voice, video and images produced by the multimodal AI.
This announcement follows a similar one of last year in the United Kingdom, since Meta also began a few months ago to train its AI models with the contents of its British users, although has waited more time to do it in the EU Due to the legal obstacles that has been found to do so.
