In a move that has sparked widespread concern, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is set to start using user data from as far back as 2007 to train its artificial intelligence (AI) tools, with no opt-out option for Australian users. This means that posts, photos, captions, and messages will be used to improve Meta’s AI chatbot, raising serious privacy concerns. The policy update, which comes into effect on June 26, has sparked outrage among artists, who fear that their livelihoods will be impacted by the use of their intellectual property to train AI models. The move has also raised questions about the lack of control users have over their data and the need for stronger regulations to protect user privacy.
