Advertisement Meta is taking a firm stance with its generative AI offering, expressing that its features won't be made available in Europe due to the strict privacy regulations imposed by the EU. The company believes that these regulations would only result in a subpar user experience. In a press release, Meta expressed disappointment with the Irish Data Protection Commission's request to postpone the training of their large language models (LLMs) using publicly shared content from adults on Facebook and Instagram. Meta views this as a regressive measure for European innovation.
