Meta is resuming its AI training program using public content shared by adult users in the European Union. This decision follows earlier delays due to regulatory concerns and aims to improve the understanding of European cultures, languages, and history within Meta's AI models. The data utilized will include public posts and comments from platforms like Facebook and Instagram, helping the AI to better reflect the nuances and complexities of European communities. Meta believes this is crucial for developing AI that is not only available to Europeans but is specifically tailored for them.
Meta will begin notifying EU users this week through in-app notifications and email, explaining the types of data they plan to use and how it will enhance AI functionality and the overall user experience. These notifications will include a direct link to an objection form, allowing users to easily opt out of having their data used for AI training purposes. Meta emphasizes that they will honor all objection forms, both those previously received and any new submissions. This approach aims to balance AI development with individual privacy rights under the stringent data privacy rules in the EU.
The move comes after Meta had to previously shelve its European AI rollout plans following concerns raised about the privacy implications of its AI tools. Meta also faces ongoing legal challenges related to the use of copyright-protected material in its large language model development. The company maintains that access to EU user data is essential for localizing its AI tools, enabling them to understand everything from dialects and colloquialisms to hyper-local knowledge and unique cultural expressions like humor and sarcasm. Without this data, Meta argues, the region risks being left behind in AI development, particularly as AI models become more advanced and multi-modal.
