Meta AI Is Summarizing What Users Write In Comment Section

If you are someone who still frequently uses the Facebook app, you might have come across Meta’s AI making its way to the comment section with summaries of what people say. Considering how wild Facebook comment sections can get, it’s not surprising how bizarre some of these summaries come out to be. This is not the first time the company’s AI has appeared in the comment section.

It’s still unclear how the company picks which posts to display comment summaries on. That said, these summaries really don’t offer anything useful, but it could come in handy for users to identify posts where the comment section has gotten too toxic to bother scrolling.

Meta’s AI Summaries Raises Privacy Concerns Among Users

These AI summaries have also managed to raise some privacy concerns among users, as the company is feeding user comments into its AI system to come up with a summary. Several Facebook and Instagram users in the European Union and the UK received a notification saying that the company will train its AI on their content.

Although Meta will let these users object to having their data used to train AI models, the process isn’t very straightforward, and Meta has also rejected some users’ requests.

In the US, the company’s privacy policy page notes the company uses “information shared on Meta’s Products and services” to train AI. This information includes photos, posts, and captions. Meta allows users to submit a request to correct or delete personal information used to train its AI models, but this applies to information from a third party.

Meta Working On Headphones With Camera Powered By AI

Meta seems to be jumping on the bandwagon with new wearables that will be powered by AI. A new report suggests the company has a new headphone in the works, which will come fitted with cameras and onboard AI. 

The world has already seen what Meta can do with cameras integrated into eyewear as the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses have been received very well. Recently, Google’s Project Astra showed the world how gen AI interfaces can work with head-worn cameras.

A new report from The Information suggests Meta is pumping money for a new project that would add cameras and AI to headphones, but there could be some hiccups along the way.

If Meta staff members are to be believed, the social media giant is betting big on a project internally called Camerabuds. While the name might suggest they are in-ear buds, Meta still hasn’t finalized the form factor yet. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has many designs in mind but hasn’t found them satisfactory.
