Meta will launch a generative AI assistant in the EU, limited to text mode only

According to BlockBeats, on March 20th, after nearly a year of suspending the launch of artificial intelligence chatbots in Europe due to regulatory reasons, Meta will bring it to Europe. The company announced on Thursday that starting this week, Meta AI will be launched on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger in 41 European countries and 21 overseas regions, but currently limited to text-based chat functionality. Meta spokesperson Ellie Hitrick said, "We have had intensive contact with various regulatory agencies in Europe for nearly a year, and currently we only offer a pure text mode in that region, which has not received training on first party data from EU users. We will continue to work with regulatory agencies to enable people in Europe to access Meta's artificial intelligence innovations and receive appropriate services, which are already available in other parts of the world
