Meta users in Brazil will receive notifications starting Tuesday via email and notifications on Facebook and Instagram, and will be able to opt out of the firm’s use of their data to train generative AI, it said in a statement.
In July, Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) suspended Meta’s new privacy policy on using personal data to train AI, but revoked it last Friday, saying Meta had agreed to release the disclosures.
In July, Meta also actively suspended the use of generative AI tools in Brazil, which included tools used to create popular AI-powered stickers for messaging platform WhatsApp. Brazil is WhatsApp’s second-largest customer base.
At the time, Meta said it had decided to suspend the tools while it was in talks with ANPD to address the authority’s concerns about its use of generative AI.
Asked by Reuters on Tuesday whether he would resume his work after the ANPD lifted the suspension, Meta only reaffirmed that the suspension had been issued while he was in talks with the ANPD.
