- Facebook is requesting access to users' camera rolls to suggest AI-edited versions of photos, including those not uploaded to Facebook.
- Users are prompted to opt into 'cloud processing' when creating a Story, allowing Facebook to upload media to its servers for AI-generated suggestions like collages and recaps.
- Meta's AI Terms state that by allowing access, users agree to let Meta analyze their media and facial features for AI processing, though the media isn't used for ad targeting.
- The feature raises privacy concerns as Meta's AI can retain and use personal information from photos to personalize AI outputs, with unclear definitions of what constitutes personal data.
- Users have found the feature in Facebook's Settings under 'Camera roll sharing suggestions,' where they can toggle cloud processing on or off.
- Meta's AI terms, enforceable since June 23, 2024, allow the company to review interactions with its AIs, including conversations, potentially involving human reviewers.
- The feature has sparked minimal backlash, with some users questioning its implications, but Meta has not responded to requests for comment.
