Meta AI will now use your Facebook and Instagram activity to inform its recommendations

Meta is giving its AI assistant a better "memory" in an effort to make the chatbot more useful. The company's latest AI update allows the assistant to "remember certain details that you share with it in 1:1 chat" and uses your past activity on Facebook and Instagram to make more personalized recommendations. With the change, which will initially be available to the US and Canada, Meta AI will be able to track your preferences based on information you share in chat with it. In a blog post, the company uses the example of food allergies and other dietary restrictions so meta AI will "remember" to recommend recipes that fit your requirements. But the assistant will also be able to track other details about you, including information about your personal life and relationships.
