Meta delays AI roles in EU due to ‘regulatory uncertainties’

Net als Apple guard Meta delays introducing AI features in EU countries due to ‘regulatory uncertainties’

Meta plans to release a multimodal Llama model – one that can process video, audio, images and text – in its Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses. The glasses should recognize buildings, artwork, flowers and more.

Withholding Meta’s multimodal AI models from the EU could have far-reaching consequences – especially for companies that cannot offer all kinds of products and services in Europe.

Meta told Axios that it still plans to release Llama 3 in the EU, the company’s text-only model. Part of the challenge will be training AI models using data from European customers, while adhering to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In May, Meta announced that it planned to use publicly available posts from Facebook and Instagram users to train future AI models.

“If we can’t train our models on content that Europeans share on our services and others, such as public posts or comments, models and the AI ​​features that power them will not accurately understand key regional languages ​​on social media,” Meta said.
