Meta Under Fire: EU Regulators Probe AI Integration with WhatsApp

European regulators are launching an investigation into Meta’s use of artificial intelligence (AI) in WhatsApp, a move that could significantly impact the platform’s future. The probe, targeting Meta’s ‘Meta AI’ system launched in March, will focus on potential market manipulation and abuse of dominance by the company. This follows previous concerns raised by Italy about the integration of AI features into WhatsApp without user consent, which could stifle competition from other chatbots.
