Meta has confirmed that it will pause plans to start training its AI systems using data from its users in the European Union (EU) and U.K. The move follows pushback from the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) and the U.K.’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Meta was planning to use public content shared by adults on Facebook and Instagram across the EU/EEA to train its large language models, but regulatory concerns have led to the pause in the plans. Users were notified of upcoming changes to Meta's privacy policy, which would allow the company to use public content for AI training, leading to objections from privacy activists. Meta believes its actions are compliant with GDPR regulations and is disappointed by the DPC's request to pause the plans.
