Meta is rolling out a new Facebook feature that the company says will help users share more photos—but which could also be used to help train its AI.
The opt-in feature allows Facebook’s AI to access your phone’s camera roll in order to find photos it finds “shareworthy,” and to suggest edits using its AI tools. Users can then decide if they want to share the images or not.
“With your permission and the help of AI, our new feature enables Facebook to automatically surface hidden gems – those memorable moments that get lost among screenshots, receipts, and random snaps – and edit them to save or share,” Meta said in its announcement explaining the new feature on Friday. The platform will also suggest “fun edits” for users to share.
The new feature has been rolled out in the US and Canada
