Does Meta AI train on what you type?
Yes, by default.
Can you turn Meta AI's training off?
Use Meta Privacy Center’s generative-AI controls/right-to-object flow where available, and review the linked "How Meta uses information for generative AI models" page for your region. This is not a universal one-click training opt-out, so avoid putting sensitive personal data into Meta AI.
What happens to your data when you use Meta AI?
Meta collects your prompts, responses, and integrates this data with your existing Meta profile data. Your conversations may be used to improve Meta's AI models. Given Meta's history with data, the integration with your social profile is the key risk factor.
The Skeptic's take
“It knows who your friends are, what you like, and now what you ask it. I would keep the sensitive questions for a different tool.”
