will begin training its AI models using public content shared by adults on Facebook and Instagram in the U.K. over the coming months, the company said, after it had paused the training in the region following a regulatory backlash.
The update follows Meta’s decision in mid-June to pause the launch of its AI models in Europe after the Irish privacy regulator told the company to delay its plan to harness data from social media posts. “Since we paused training our generative AI models in the U.K. to address regulatory feedback, we’ve engaged positively with the ICO … this clarity and certainty will help us bring AI at Meta products to the U.K. much sooner,” Meta said on Friday.
