Meta will begin using publicly shared content from adult users in the UK on Facebook and Instagram to train its artificial intelligence models.

In July, Meta paused AI releases in the European Union following the Irish Data Protection Commission’s orders to halt its AI assistant rollout in the EU due to data privacy concerns.
