Meta has introduced a new AI feature that can even access users’ uploaded images that are still on their device’s gallery and make suggestions for sharing these images.
According to The Verge, Meta has released an optional AI feature to Facebook users in the US and Canada that it claims can make users’ photos and videos “shareable.” But the problem is that this new feature is designed for your phone’s camera gallery and not for the pictures you’ve already uploaded to Facebook.
Meta artificial intelligence also has access to images in your gallery
Meta says that if you enable the feature, the company’s AI will scan your camera gallery, upload unpublished photos to Meta’s cloud, and uncover “hidden treasures” that are “lost among screenshots, receipts, and random photos.” Users can save or share edits and collages suggested by Meta AI.
Meta had started early testing of this feature in June and has now enabled it for US and Canadian users. At the time, Meta claimed that private, unpublished photos of users were not being used to train the company’s AI, but also refused to rule out the possibility of using them in the future.
Now it looks like Meta plans to use your photos to train its AI under certain conditions. “We do not use files in your camera gallery to improve AI in Meta, unless you choose to edit or share this media with our AI tools,” the company said in a new announcement.
“This means that camera gallery files uploaded by this feature to provide suggestions will not be used to improve AI in Meta,” a Meta spokesperson said of the feature. Only if the user edits these suggestions with our AI tools or publishes them to Facebook, the data may be used to improve the AI in Meta.”
