Meta AI Expands Text-Based Chatbot to Europe Amid Regulatory Challenges

According to BlockBeats, Meta is set to launch its AI chatbot across Europe after nearly a year-long delay due to regulatory issues. Starting this week, the text-based chatbot will be available on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger in 41 European countries and 21 overseas regions. Meta spokesperson Ellie Hitric stated that the company has engaged extensively with European regulators over the past year. Currently, the chatbot will operate in a text-only mode and will not be trained on first-party data from EU users. Meta plans to continue collaborating with regulators to ensure that European users can access its AI innovations and receive appropriate services, similar to those available in other parts of the world.
