Hey Strangers,

#meta #facebook #AI

Plans to use peoples' public posts and images on Facebook and Instagram to train artificial intelligence (AI) tools belonging to parent company Meta have been attacked by digital rights groups.

The social media giant recently has been informing UK and European users of the platforms that, under privacy policy changes taking effect on 26 June, their information can be used to "develop and improve" its AI products.

This includes posts, images, image captions, comments and Stories that users over the age of 18 have shared with a public audience on Facebook and Instagram, but not private messages.

Noyb, a European campaign group that advocates for digital rights, called its processing of years' worth of user content on the sites an "abuse of personal data for AI".

It has filed complaints with 11 data protection authorities across Europe, urging them to take immediate action on halt the company's plans.

Meta said it was confident its approach complied with relevant privacy laws and was consistent with how other big tech firms used data to develop AI experiences across Europe.

In a blogpost published on 22 May, it said European user information would support a wider rollout of its generative AI experiences, in part by providing more relevant training data.

Here’s how to watch the archive of WWDC 2024.
