Facing regulatory hurdles in Brazil, Meta has suspended the use of its generative AI tools in the region. At issue is a privacy policy update that granted Meta permission to train AI models using Brazilians’ public data on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, including posts, images, and captions. The decision comes after a ban imposed by Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) earlier this month prohibited Meta from using Brazilian citizens’ data to train AI models. Should Generative AI be stopped completely until there is compliance ?
