Meta has halted the use of its AI assistant in Brazil following a directive from the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD). This decision came after the ANPD prohibited the company from training AI models on Brazilian users’ personal data. citing “the imminent risk of serious harm and irreparable or difficult-to-repair damage to the fundamental rights of guardians.” The suspension presents a significant setback for Facebook’s AI ambitions in a market of over 200 million users.
In response, Meta confirmed the suspension of its generative AI features in Brazil, stating, “We have decided to pause genAI features previously available in Brazil while we engage with the ANPD to address their inquiries about genAI.”. Meta has long been leveraging user data from the United States and other countries to develop its AI technologies. However, in May this year, it faced similar regulatory challenges in Europe and the United Kingdom. forcing the company to pause its AI model training in those regions as well. The ANPD has also imposed a daily fine of $50,000 on Meta if it fails to comply with the directive.
