Private messages exchanged on Meta’s platforms were supposedly not used to train the new AI model.
Meta AI is designed to assist users in creating personalized digital stickers based on text prompts, offer photo editing guidance through text instructions, and engage in conversations with AI personalities, such as the iconic rapper Snoop Dogg, who plays the role of a “Dungeons & Dragons” Dungeon Master.
Expect Legal battles with Meta’s AI training
Meta AI was developed utilizing Meta’s AI language model, Llama 2, and a text-to-image model named Emu. Both of these sophisticated models were trained using a vast array of content extracted from Instagram and Facebook posts.
However, Meta’s move to utilize publicly available content for AI training has ignited concerns within the creative and development communities. Many authors, artists, and developers fear that their work might be exploited without their consent to train AI systems, potentially jeopardizing their careers.
Addressing these concerns, Clegg acknowledged that legal challenges may arise regarding the fairness of using copyrighted content for AI training. He stated, “We think it is, but I strongly suspect that’s going to play out in litigation.”
