Facebook is rolling out a new AI feature that allows for 'cloud processing' of users' camera rolls, enabling ongoing scanning and uploading of photos stored on devices.
The feature is aimed at generating AI-enhanced content like themed collages and memories, but privacy advocates raise concerns about the invasive nature of the access.
While Facebook claims the data won't be used for ad targeting, the fine print reveals that AI-processed images can be retained and analyzed, potentially without users' full awareness.
The company's new feature raises questions about user consent, data privacy, and the increasing use of personal content for AI training purposes.
