“Meta has now integrated AI into Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger in Canada — but its presence may not be welcomed by all, as the new feature can’t be turned off. In a statement Thursday, the company said Meta AI can be used ‘to get things done, learn, create and connect with the things that matter to you.’ It is now available in Canada, Australia, Ghana, Jamaica, Malawi, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. … Facebook’s online help page says that Meta AI will join a group conversation if tagged, or if someone ‘asks a question in a post and no one responds within an hour.’ Group administrators can turn the feature off. While that feature can be turned off, Meta AI’s more general presence on the platforms cannot, according to a statement from Meta to Global News.” (04/19/24)
