Meta will launch a Generative AI Assistant in the EU, Text mode only

BlockBeats News, March 20th, after pausing the launch of its AI chatbot in Europe for nearly a year due to regulatory reasons, Meta is bringing it to Europe. The company announced on Thursday that starting this week, Meta AI will roll out on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger in 41 European countries and 21 overseas regions, but currently limited to text-based chat functionality only.

Meta spokesperson Ellie Shtrik said, "We have been in intensive contact with various regulatory agencies in Europe for nearly a year. Currently, we only offer a text-only mode in this region, which has not been trained on first-party data from EU users. We will continue to work with regulatory agencies to enable people in Europe to access Meta's AI innovations and receive appropriate services, innovations that are already available in other parts of the world."
