Meta plans to automate up to 90% of the risk assessments for updates on apps like Instagram and WhatsApp using AI-powered system.
The move aims to fulfill the 2012 agreement with the FTC, enabling quicker product updates but with the concern of increased risks.
Previously conducted by humans, the new AI-centric process involves a questionnaire for product teams to receive instant decisions on identified risks before launch.
While Meta states investing in privacy and innovation, critics warn of potential negative impacts as problems may arise once updates are rolled out.
