Overview

• Meta AI, a generative chatbot accessible via a blue circle in WhatsApp, is now operational worldwide, including a text-only version in the EU due to regulatory constraints.
• Meta introduced 'Private Processing' to ensure encrypted routing and prevent data retention during AI request handling on external servers.
• An 'Advanced Chat Privacy' setting allows users to disable AI features entirely in individual or group chats, enhancing control over sensitive conversations.
• Meta is developing an AI-powered chat summarization feature that processes unread messages on its servers to provide concise overviews, with privacy safeguards in place.
• EU regulators have permitted Meta to train its AI on public posts under an opt-out framework, set to begin by May 26, following earlier restrictions on data usage.
