Meta's AI Appetite Approved by EU

Meta gets a EU nod to train AI with social media content. The European Union’s data regulator has granted Meta permission to harness public content from its platforms, like Facebook and Instagram, to develop AI models. This includes public posts and comments from adult users, while private messages and content from minors remain untouchable. Meta aims to capture Europe's cultural nuances, though users can opt out. This development marks a significant milestone for AI advancements within social media, spotlighting the ongoing tension between tech innovation and privacy rights.
