In addition to this, Meta is also said to be working on a new artificial intelligence (AI) system to compete with OpenAI. The company plans to launch this new AI system next year, aiming to make it more powerful than the Llama 2 AI model it released this summer. Unlike with Llama 2, Meta plans to train the new model using its own infrastructure.
Key takeaways:
- Meta is updating WhatsApp to comply with new EU rules under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires interoperability between different messaging platforms.
- The DMA applies to companies designated as 'gatekeepers', including Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, and Microsoft, and aims to curb anti-competitive behavior.
- The DMA also prohibits platforms from prioritizing their services over competitors, amalgamating personal data from different services, and requires them to allow users to download apps from rival platforms.
- Besides WhatsApp, Meta is also reportedly working on a new version of its artificial intelligence system to compete with OpenAI, with plans to launch it next year.
