Meta AI is available across various Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The company has made some improvements to the chatbot, including its ability to remember information from previous conversations. The feature allows the AI to respond in a more customized and personalized way for each user.
For users in the U.S. and Canada, the chatbot will store information about them, such as hobbies or interests. The chatbot will also analyze message content and decide what details will likely be relevant to the user in the future.
The chatbot will give users answers based on what preferences and information they have shared. For example, it can help come up with creative bedtime stories for children, so if a user asks it for a new one, it remembers the children’s interests.
Information shared during group chats will be ignored by Meta AI. At any time, users have the option to delete remembered details as well.
The AI chatbot can access and use information across various Meta platforms. For instance, a music video viewed on Instagram cross-referenced with the user’s home location via a Facebook profile could trigger Meta AI to recommend an upcoming local concert.
There is no opt-out option for Meta AI’s cross-platform data collection. Given how vulnerable the tech can be, many users may be hesitant to trust Meta AI with personal information, and an opt-out choice may eventually appear.
A security flaw was discovered in Meta’s large language model known as Llama. The weakness left the door open for knowledgeable hackers to wreak havoc on Meta’s systems, such as releasing dangerous malware. However, the problem was resolved before any harm was done.
Meta AI was added to Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram to help with text translation, generate images, and search the internet. The chatbot currently uses Meta’s Llama 3.2, which can process both image and text prompts. Meta’s upgraded model, Llama 4, is due out later this year, and Meta AI will likely utilize the new technology. Any possible security flaws will be addressed before the rollout.
