Meta Will Use AI Chat History to Serve You Even More Targeted Ads [View all]

Source: Gizmodo

Meta will start using your AI chatbot conversations to tune up your social media feeds with more hyper-targeted ads and posts.

The tech giant will begin notifying users about this update on October 7 via notifications and emails, saying “Learn how Meta will use your info in new ways to personalize your experiences.”

The new initiative goes into effect later this year on December 16, and there will be no way to opt out.

That means any time you interact with one of Meta’s many AI features, the information you give in that chat will be used to serve you hyper-personalized ads and posts. For example, if you go on WhatsApp and ask for Meta AI’s help about a hiking trip, your Facebook feed will be filled with recommendations to join hiking groups, you will suddenly see more Instagram posts from your friends about hiking trails, or get ads for hiking boots on Threads.
