WhatsApp will test the integration of Meta's latest artificial intelligence model called Meta Llama 3 to improve Meta AI capabilities.
This means AI-powered features will improve on the platform. For example, creating stickers from text will be more accurate and the Meta AI virtual assistant will provide more accurate answers.
As reported by WaBetaInfo, the option to use the new artificial intelligence model will be available in the WhatsApp beta program for Android.
Users who want to access Meta's latest artificial intelligence model through WhatsApp need to access Android beta version 2.24.14.7. Once installed, go to Settings and select Meta Llama 3's application.
With this fix, users will get a more powerful Meta AI, capable of generating answers faster.
Meta AI is a virtual assistant built into meta social networks like WhatsApp. People interact with it like any other chat. You can ask all kinds of questions and make pictures.
Meta AI has the ability to integrate into any chat as long as the user writes @MetaAI.
An artificial intelligence (AI) model is a computational system designed to simulate human cognitive processes such as learning, perception, and decision making. These models use algorithms and large data sets to learn patterns and perform specific tasks in an automated manner.
Specifically, Meta Llama 3 is an AI model developed by Meta, known for its advanced capabilities in natural language processing and contextual understanding. This model excels in complex tasks like language translation And thanks to the ability to manage the generation of conversations, sequences of actions and decisions.
Meta, the company behind social networks like Facebook and Instagram, has announced in a statement that starting June 26, 2024, it will use its users' data to train its artificial intelligence.
This activity refers to content shared on their sites, Like posts and photos with descriptions, will be used to train your AI models. Meta noted that information can be processed from people who do not have a profile on social networks but appear in other users' posts.
Training an AI model involves teaching the computer system to perform tasks based on collected data. During this process, large amounts of information are used to identify patterns in the model and improve its accuracy and effectiveness.
For example, if a parent posts a photo of their newborn on Instagram, Meta can now access that image and use it to feed its artificial intelligence model.
When Meta announced its approach to AI training, the European Digital Rights Center (NOYB) raised concerns with Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) due to Meta's track record in handling user data.
Days after the complaint, Meta announced it was temporarily suspending its program in the EU.
“We are disappointed by a request by our lead regulator, the Irish Data Protection Authority (DPC), on behalf of European DPAs, to delay training our Large Language Models (LLM) using public content shared by adults on Facebook and Instagram. Especially as we incorporate regulatory comments and European DPAs have been informed since March,” said Meta spokesman Stefan Fratta.
While the program has been suspended in Europe, it continues in other parts of the world.
