Last month, Meta used publicly available Facebook and Instagram posts to train its new AI assistant. The company did not use private chats or content shared only with close friends for this purpose. Meta also avoided using datasets with a significant amount of personal information, such as LinkedIn, which contains private user content.
Key takeaways:
- Instagram is testing a new feature that will allow users to add photos and videos to their friend's posts, with the final control of the post remaining with the original uploader.
- The new feature may increase the current limit of 10 photos or videos in a carousel post, but this has not been confirmed by the company.
- Instagram is also considering a feature that will allow users to have a short or looping video as their profile picture in Notes, aiming to boost user engagement.
- Meta, Instagram's parent company, has used publicly available Facebook and Instagram posts to train its AI assistant, but did not use private chats or content with heavy personal information.
