This is the best summary I could come up with:


Additionally, Meta plans to collect information about people who aren't on Facebook or Instagram but are featured in users' posts or photos.

"Unlike the already problematic situation of companies using certain (public) data to train a specific AI system (e.g. a chatbot), Meta's new privacy policy basically says that the company wants to take all public and non-public user data that it has collected since 2007 and use it for any undefined type of current and future 'artificial intelligence technology,'" Noyb alleged in a press release.

Meta has said that collecting personal data is necessary to train AI services that reflect "the diverse cultures and languages of the European communities who will use them."

Participating will help Meta "provide and curate artificial intelligence technology in our Products, enabling the creation of content like text, audio, images, and videos, including by understanding and recognizing your use of content in the features," an AI policy page said.

"This includes features not yet available in Europe, like allowing people to create customized stickers for chats and stories, as well as Meta AI, our virtual assistant you can access to answer questions, generate images, and more in our family of apps and on devices," Meta's blog said.

The AI initiative seems to be part of the social media company's effort to appeal to younger users, according to a blog from head of Facebook, Tom Alison.
