Meta Suspends Generative AI Tools in Brazil Following ANPD Ban Over Privacy Concerns

Jul 18, 2024, 08:21 AM

Meta has decided to suspend its generative AI tools in Brazil following objections from the Brazilian government regarding the company's new privacy policy. The suspension comes after Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) issued a preliminary ban on Meta's use of personal data to train its AI models due to privacy concerns. The Brazilian government had concerns about Meta's handling of personal data, leading to strict new rules. Analysts suggest that this move could influence future AI policies globally, urging companies to prioritize user consent.
