Meta makes great changes in 2025, good and bad, everyone will judge. For example, Mark Zuckerberg adopts the “Free speech” For his social networksaligning on the X model under Elon Musk. But the company also feeds Meta AI with your private data to customize the answers on Instagram and Facebook.
This is an unusual choice: Meta announces the investment of $ 60 billion in AI. Major improvement lies in the capacity of the model to “Memorize” previous conversation elements.
Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp under iOS and Android users in the United States and Canada have access to this novelty allowing Meta AI to retain precise information on users.
The memory functionality is not new, since it is present At Chatgpt d'Openai or Google Gemini. Meta AI therefore identifies the “Important details” Depending on the context. For example, if you mention being vegan in a previous conversation and, in another, you ask for a recipe for a dinner, AI adapts taking into account this food preference.
Note, however, that this feature does not apply to group conversations and that it is possible to delete memory at any time.
The other controversial novelty concerns the use of private accounts of accounts such as Instagram or Facebook to receive personalized recommendations. AI uses data such as location or recently viewed videos.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, declares that “Meta Ai will start to give answers based on your preferences and the information you have shared. For example, he helps me create stories for my daughters' bedtime, and if I ask him for a new story, he remembers that they love sirens. “
Techcrunch was able to interact with a Meta spokesperson who confirms that it will be impossible to deactivate this feature. This is not likely to appease the fears of users of social networks of the company which has been illustrated several times in the past by the abusive exploitation of private data, especially in the Cambridge Analytica case.
