Meta’s AI Personalization Raises Privacy Concerns, Compared to ChatGPT, Impacting Less Tech-Savvy Users and Opt-Out Autonomy

Meta has introduced an AI model designed to transform user interactions into a social network experience, raising concerns about privacy risks, particularly for less tech-savvy individuals. Geoffrey A. Fowler, writing for The Washington Post and Fast Company, highlights that Meta's AI personalization features store extensive user data, including information users may prefer to keep private. This approach to AI, described as a more intrusive version of ChatGPT, could lead to diminished user control over personal information. Experts warn that as AI algorithms increasingly influence critical decisions, the ability for users to opt out is diminishing, potentially undermining individual autonomy.
