Meta's AI Uses Unpublished Photos, Sparking Privacy Concerns | JQJO

Meta is facing criticism for its new 'cloud processing' feature, which allows access to users' unpublished photos on Facebook and Instagram. This feature, presented as an option for AI-generated content suggestions, grants Meta the right to analyze users' media, including facial features and metadata. While users can opt out, concerns are rising about Meta's use of this data for training AI models, especially given its past ambiguity regarding data usage from public posts. The company's lack of transparency and the potential for unauthorized AI manipulation of personal photos have sparked user outrage.
