NETHERLANDS - The Dutch privacy watchdog Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) is the latest regulator to warn Meta’s Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp users that they should object if they don’t want their public data...
to be used to train the company’s artificial intelligence tool Meta AI. The AP said it's “very concerned” about the plans of Meta and other large platforms to train their tools with user data.
“It is not yet a done deal whether Meta is allowed to do what the company plans to do," the statement said, adding: "Among other things, it is questionable whether Meta's opt-out model meets the legal requirements. The AP and the other European supervisors are in close consultation with the Irish supervisor about this.” Meta announced the roll out of Meta AI out across the EU earlier this month, after it was launched in the US in September 2023.
