Meta Plans to Automate Privacy Risk Assessments with AI

Meta Platforms is transitioning its approach to privacy risk assessment by integrating artificial intelligence (AI). Previously, human evaluators reviewed new product and feature changes, but this change will rely on AI for approximately 90% of those assessments. This means that crucial updates in Meta’s algorithms, safety features, and content sharing policies will likely be approved automatically by an AI-powered system. Notably, human review of potential harm caused by these changes is expected to diminish significantly with this shift.
