Báo Thanh niên•11/10/2024
Meta AI's chatbot will support Vietnamese in the next few weeks and will be integrated into popular apps like Facebook and Instagram.
Meta has just announced that its AI chatbot will be available in 21 new markets, following trials in the US and Australia. Users in the UK, Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Paraguay, and the Philippines can experience Meta AI starting October 9th, while Vietnam and other countries will see rollout a few weeks later. In Europe, the chatbot is not yet available due to an "unpredictable legal environment." Meta's AI assistant is capable of generating text and images from prompts. The most attractive feature, character voices for the chatbot, is not yet ready. The company says it will roll it out in a separate roadmap but has not announced a specific timeframe.

Meta's AI products are powered by the Llama 3.2 AI model. The new chatbot will be deeply integrated into popular applications such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. To activate the AI chatbot, users can tap the "Create an AI" icon or type "@MetaAI" in a group chat, then enter a prompt for the chatbot. If using Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, users can say "Hey Meta" aloud. Meta AI on Messenger and Instagram adds a Reimagine feature, allowing users to take photos using AI. People in the group chat can edit photos by pressing/holding and then entering commands. On Facebook, Meta AI can help users create birthday greetings, edit posts, and compose bios for Dating profiles. On Reels, users can request the chatbot to provide relevant videos based on specific queries. According to Reuters, technology companies are seeking to attract users to AI products through various means. In addition to introducing many new features, platforms are racing to make AI chatbots capable of speaking multiple native languages. Meta aims to be present in 43 countries by the end of 2024, supporting dozens of different languages. With 500 million monthly users, Meta wants to become one of the most widely used AI platforms in the world .
Meta AI raises numerous privacy concerns.
However, Meta AI is also raising many privacy concerns. Users across social media are spreading the "Bye Meta AI" campaign to protest social media platforms using posts to train AI. Many famous sports stars and actors, such as James McAvoy and Tom Brady, have also voiced their support for this campaign. Meanwhile, in the UK, users who want to prevent Meta from using Facebook and Instagram posts to train AI models must fill out a protest form. Last week, Meta introduced the Movie Gen model, which allows users to create images and videos using commands (prompts). Meta's AI can even create videos from just a portrait photo. A Meta spokesperson said the company does not yet plan to release Movie Gen to all users, as it did with the large language model Llama. The company is considering the specific risks of each model.
