However, there have been concerns about the chatbot's tendency to add turbans when generating images of Indian men and consistently generating images of old-school Indian houses. While Meta has said it is constantly updating its models, it is unclear if changes have been made in these areas. The rollout in India comes a week after Google released its Gemini app for Android users in India, which supports nine local languages.
Key takeaways:
- Meta is making its Llama-3-powered AI chatbot, Meta AI, available to all users in India, but it currently only supports English and no other local languages.
- The chatbot can suggest recipes, plan workouts, help write emails, or summarize text, and can also generate images based on prompts, although it has been found to have certain biases in image generation.
- Meta AI is being introduced to India's large user base of 500 million WhatsApp users and hundreds of millions of users of its other apps, and can be used individually or within a group chat.
