German Court Allows Meta's AI Data Use | JQJO

A German court ruled that Meta can use publicly available EU user data to train its AI, rejecting a consumer protection agency's complaint. The Cologne court deemed Meta's use of data for AI training a legitimate purpose, permissible even without explicit consent. Starting May 27th, Meta will utilize data from EU users over 18 unless they opt out. Meta argues this improves AI understanding of European cultures and languages.
