Following the EU, Brazil is now in the spotlight as Meta announces the closure of all Generative AI features in the country. This decision stems from a previous government directive prohibiting Meta from using user data to train AI.
Meta has stated that they will temporarily suspend the operations of Generative AI, while engaging in discussions with Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) to address concerns raised by the agency.
Brazil is a crucial market for Meta, with a significant number of WhatsApp users ranking second only to India. Previously, Meta had launched targeted advertising systems using AI for clients in Brazil.
