From today the artificial intelligence is you. Yes, you, Mark Zuckerberg users, or Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger. That is, let’s face it, because no one can now hide and pretend nothing. In short, after a procedure that lasted a year to check that everything is done in compliance with privacy – iter of which the good Mark has also complained about press release (“we regret that almost twelve months before reaching this point. We welcome the clarity offered both from the Irish data Protection Commission and from the European Data Protection Board that has made this important step away”) will take all our own. Conversations both via app and email to train its IA. Which is that winking rod that for a few weeks has been added to the social services and many of which have wondered why. There he is.
And therefore we got there, who have become traders without our knowledge. Or rather, in reality to avoid doing it we should perform an operation on the contrary, that is, not to give consent but instead fill in a form to remove it. A real invitation to forget it. Meta, however, clarifies that the contents involved in the training will be only those made public, such as the posts visible to everyone or shared in the groups. Private and post -visible information only to friends will remain excluded, as well as the data of minor users. Some elements of the profile, however, such as the image or the username, will always be public and accessible. In practice, a cheeks that will begin their goodness – only after all users have been informed, respecting a transition period. And that will naturally involve the interactions that we will have with the rod above, which will be used to perfect the algorithm. With a single exception, however (their aribontity): those of WhatsApp.
So let’s get ready, so much the technological revolution is inexorable. And we cannot complain that much: those who filled the social networks of private photos, images of their children everywhere, travel album that have the same effect as a key put under the doormat when the house remains empty, now it can no longer shout at the scandal. We deserved it, let’s face it, and we thank destination when he says that the operation serves to help the IA to “better understand local languages and stories” of our continent. The goal is therefore a less Yankee artificial intelligence. Or more simply that it has more realistic data available now that the web has been scolds everything.
This in the end means that we are technologically passed off (or more than anything else accomplices), although in the meantime they are about to begin the eight more complicated weeks of its existence: in fact, the process begins in which a Washington court will have to decide if Zuckerberg, buying Instagram in 2012 and Wahtsapp in 2014, wanted to eliminate competition against Facebook. If the Federal Trade Commission was right, the company would be forced to sell the two social networks, but here too there is a England, given that from the moment the accusation was presented (2020) the American antitrust body has changed director.
Andrew Ferguson, who was appointed by Trump of which Zuckerberg has become a great friend in the meantime, has already passed from a “we are impatient to start the cause” to a “if the president asked me to archive the accusations I would obey”. And therefore the truth is that you could make everything decide directly to a chatbot: at least it could say that you have asked us for an opinion.
