Meta AI Rollout Raises Privacy Concerns, Govt Receives Letter from Indian Legal Services Organisation
==========

A leading legal services organisation, SFLC.in, has raised privacy concerns regarding the rollout of Meta AI on Meta platforms in India. The organisation sent a letter to Union minister for Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, highlighting potential risks and urging immediate action. The Meta AI assistant is trained using publicly available data and aims to assist users on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. Similar privacy concerns have been raised in Europe and Brazil. The Irish Data Protection Commission has stalled the rollout in Europe, citing privacy issues and regulatory hurdles. Brazil's National Data Protection Authority has suspended Meta's new privacy policy. SFLC.in emphasized the need for transparent and straightforward mechanisms for users to control their data and urged the government to halt the Meta AI rollout in India to protect citizens' privacy and data security.
