In E82 of "This Week in Local," hosts Mike Boland and Charles Laughlin delve into the ongoing conflict between Meta and European data privacy regulators.
They explore how Meta's efforts to deploy Meta AI in Europe have hit a roadblock due to stringent privacy laws and the pushback from regulatory bodies, particularly in Ireland. This leads to a broader discussion on the challenges big tech companies face with European regulators, especially concerning the legality and ethics of using user-generated content for AI training.
Mike and Charles also touch on similar standoffs involving Google and news publishers, drawing parallels with Meta's situation. They discuss the implications of these conflicts for the future of AI training data, referencing recent licensing deals like the one between OpenAI and News Corp.
