Meta announced Monday that it will begin training its artificial intelligence models using public content from adult users in the European Union, including posts, comments, and interactions with its AI assistant. The move, delayed last year due to privacy concerns, aims to improve AI’s understanding of European languages, cultures, and regional nuances.
Users in the EU will receive notifications about the data usage and can opt out via an objection form. Meta emphasized that private messages and under-18 accounts will not be included. The company cited compliance with EU regulations and alignment with industry practices by Google and OpenAI.
The decision follows the recent launch of Meta AI in Europe, which the company says will benefit businesses and users by delivering more localized AI responses. Privacy advocates, including NOYB, had previously raised concerns, but Meta asserts its approach is transparent and lawful.
