Meta, the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, has announced the expansion of its AI service, “Meta AI,” to 12 countries outside the United States.Â
These countries include Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Canada, Australia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and others.
The rollout, currently available in English, aims to enhance connections and provide users with new creative, expressive, and productivity tools directly within these popular apps.
Since its initial unveiling at last year’s Connect event, Meta AI has evolved into a multifaceted tool seamlessly integrating into users’ daily lives.
Powered by Meta Llama 3 technology, Meta AI empowers users to accomplish tasks, acquire knowledge, foster creativity, and forge connections with ease.
Meta’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, expressed excitement about sharing their next-generation assistant with more people and making it work seamlessly through real-time information integration in familiar apps.
The expansion of Meta AI raises important discussions about the revolutionary impact of AI technology, alongside concerns such as transparency, bias, privacy, ethics, security, and the long-term implications of artificial general intelligence development.
