Meta has announced that it plans to use European users’ data in its apps such as Facebook and Instagram to teach artificial intelligence models, while European supervisory agencies had previously forced Meta due to concerns about privacy.
European users’ protest against Meta’s artificial intelligence
According to Theverge, Meta announced this week that it will begin informing European users to notify the company’s new decision to teach artificial intelligence using their data. This information will be made through intra -program and email notification and includes a link to disagree with data.
According to Meta, these data include public posts and chat history with Meta AI, but private messages from friends and family members will not be included in the process. Also, this decision only includes users over 18 years of age.
Last year, due to the pressure of Ireland‘s regulatory bodies, Meta dismissed the project of artificial intelligence training with European users’ data, but now, with the change of policies and reforming the framework of privacy laws, the process will resume again.
Artificial Intelligence Training with European users data
Meta claims that using European users’ data helps to reflect the dialects, local terms, humor and cultural differences in different European countries. This is very important for more accurate performance of multi -coated models (text, audio, video and video).

Meta’s new move to teach artificial intelligence models with European users data, although it increases accuracy and localization of technology, has raised many concerns in the field of privacy. Meta’s attempt to clarify and provide a form of withdrawal can be an important step in gaining users’ trust, but there are still legal and regulatory challenges.
