WhatsApp’s AI Feature Sparks Concerns Over Data Privacy
Meta has rolled out an AI-powered feature in WhatsApp that can answer users’ questions and provide information. The feature, powered by Meta AI, is embedded in the messaging service but cannot be turned off. WhatsApp claims it is ‘entirely optional,’ but critics argue that users should have control over their data. Meta’s Llama 4 language model is used to power the feature, which has drawn attention and frustration from users who feel they are being exploited for AI development.
