Meta u-turns on AI feature amid privacy backlash
Meta has abruptly shelved an artificial intelligence feature after a swift public and regulatory backlash, signaling that even the world's largest social networks cannot simply bulldoze privacy concerns in the age of generative AI. The company's reversal, which comes just weeks after announcing the capability, underscores mounting pressure on tech giants to prove they can deploy powerful AI systems responsibly or face lawmakers' willingness to impose restrictions.
