Meta will not launch Meta AI in Europe for now

Meta Platforms will not introduce its artificial intelligence assistant, Meta AI, in Europe after a request from the Irish privacy regulator. This decision follows complaints and a call for action against Meta by advocacy group NOYB in multiple European countries. The issue revolves around Meta's use of personal data to train its AI models without obtaining consent, even though the company claims to only utilize publicly available and licensed information. The Irish Data Protection Commission has asked Meta to postpone training its language models using content shared by adult users on Facebook and Instagram. Meta expressed disappointment, stating that this request hinders innovation and competition in AI development in Europe. Therefore, Meta AI will not be launched in Europe for now.
