While users in the European Union can opt out of having their data used to train Meta's AI models, such an option doesn't exist in the US or Australia.
The section on generative AI from Meta's privacy center says, "We use public posts and comments on Facebook and Instagram to train generative AI models for these features and for the open-source community.
Meta says setting your audience to something besides "public" will keep your data from being used to train its AI models.
Likewise, Meta says it may use your interactions with AI features, such as "messages to AI chats, questions you ask and images you ask Meta AI to imagine for you."
AI competitors like Google and OpenAI have already made deals with many news publishers for training data.
