Meta is set to utilize users’ AI chats, prompting caution before engaging with AI. The company announced the use of AI chats on Facebook and Instagram for targeted advertising. This change will affect users worldwide, but there are exceptions.
**Exemptions**
While Meta’s plan for targeted advertising using AI chats will apply globally, it will not be implemented in the UK, South Korea, and the European Union. This is because privacy laws in these regions restrict companies from using user data in this manner. Meta AI has approximately 1 billion monthly active users across all its apps.
**Excluded Conversations**
Meta clarifies that user conversations related to sensitive topics such as politics, religion, and health will not be used for targeted advertising. This decision highlights how companies are attempting to monetize free AI services.
**Implementation Timeline**
According to TechCrunch, Meta’s updated privacy policy will take effect on December 16th, with users being informed in the following days. While Meta currently has no immediate plans to display advertisements based on this data, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has hinted at the possibility in the future.
