**(Preliminary) privacy win: Meta stops AI personal data mining plans in the EU
**
In response to 11 complaints filed by the Austrian organization "NOYB", the European Union’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) has announced that #Meta has committed that it will not process EU/EEA user #data for undefined "artificial intelligence techniques". Previously, Meta had argued that it had a "legitimate interest" in doing so.

DPC makes "U-turn" after initially approving Meta #AI. While the DPC initially approved the introduction of Meta AI in the EU/EEA, it appears that other regulators have pushed back in recent days, causing the DPC to do a U-turn on its advice to Meta.

The DPC has now announced:
"The DPC welcomes the decision by Meta to pause its plans to train its large language model using public content shared by adults on #Facebook and #Instagram across the EU/EEA".
