Meta announced that will train its artificial intelligence (AI) models with its European users' public content and conversations with the Meta AI chatbot.

People based in the EU who use Meta platforms can opt out of having their data used for generative AI training purposes, the social networking giant said.

The move follows the recent European rollout of Meta AI, which had been delayed since June 2024 due to data privacy concerns raised by regulators. The company said EU users of Facebook and Instagram would receive notifications outlining how their data may be used, along with a link to opt out.

Meta clarified that while questions posed to its AI and public content from adult users may be used, private messages and data from under-18s would be excluded from training.
