Meta earlierconfirmIts multimodal artificial intelligence model and subsequent updated products will not be available within the EU due to the lack of clear regulatory measures within the EU.
Meta originally planned to apply its multimodal AI model to devices such as smart glasses developed in collaboration with Ray-Ban, allowing related application services to process video, sound, images, and text information. However, due to the relatively strict regulatory regulations of current EU regulators, the new AI model will not be available within the EU for the time being. Even if its Llama AI model is provided as open source, it may not be successfully used within the EU.
According to Meta, its concerns lie in regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) within the European Union. However, the UK, which has similar regulations, does not face the same issues. Therefore, it plans to provide the new multimodal artificial intelligence model in the UK.
Prior to this, Apple also considered the current regulatory approach to artificial intelligence technology in the EU and stated thatNot for nowProviding "Apple Intelligence" services within the EU, and after Meta also announced that it would not provide multimodal artificial intelligence models within the EU, may cause more technology companies to not consider promoting artificial intelligence services within the EU to avoid being affected by its strict regulatory agencies.
