Meta Platforms Building AI Technology for Europe

Facebook owner Meta Platforms is developing artificial intelligence (AI) technology specifically tailored for Europe. The goal is to create AI models that reflect linguistic, geographic, and cultural nuances relevant to the European context.

Here are the key points:

  1. Training Data: Meta will train its large language models using publicly shared content from people in the European Union on platforms like Instagram and Facebook.

  2. Privacy Considerations: To respect users’ privacy, Meta excluded private posts shared only with family and friends during the training process.

  3. Meta AI Virtual Assistant: Parts of the new Meta AI virtual assistant were trained using public Facebook and Instagram posts.

  4. Transparency: Meta plans to notify Facebook and Instagram users in Europe and the United Kingdom about how public information shared on their services contributes to AI development.

This move highlights Meta’s commitment to creating AI systems that align with European linguistic and cultural diversity. Stay tuned for further developments! 🌐🤖
