Meta AI is now in India on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram
Meta recently made its Llama 3-powered AI chatbot, Meta AI, available to all users in India. The robot can be found on the Meta.AI website as well as in apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook. This came after the general elections. Before, the chatbot was only available to a small group of people in a few countries.
Functionality and Accessibility
Other top chatbots in the industry, such as ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude, have features that Meta AI does as well. It lets people do many things, like writing summaries, planning workouts, coming up with cooking ideas, and writing emails. On Instagram, it can suggest related Reels, and on Facebook, it bases interactions on what’s in your feed.
Unique Features and Cultural Sensitivity
During tests, Meta AI showed bias in picture generation, often showing Indian men with turbans and creating stereotypical images of Indian settings, even though it had advanced technology. Meta is aware of these flaws and keeps saying that the model is being improved and updated all the time.
Privacy and Interaction
Meta ensures the AI chatbot doesn’t remember what happened in previous group talks beyond the current conversation. This protects user privacy. The Meta AI feature can’t be turned off completely, but users can choose not to use the robot during searches. India is a big market with 500 million WhatsApp users, so Meta’s rollout is meant to reach many people. Adding the AI to group chats makes it more useful by letting it help with things like planning trips and choosing movies. The chatbot can only understand the context of the text used during the active interaction, though.
About Llama 3-powered AI chatbot
The phrase “Llama 3-powered AI chatbot” most likely refers to an AI chatbot that is powered by Meta’s third version of Language Model for Applications (LLaMA). LLaMA is known for how well it handles natural language processing tasks. It was specially made to work well even with fewer computer resources than its predecessors. The structure of the model, which focuses on smaller parameter numbers for similar performance levels, makes it easier for a wider range of applications to be used, such as real-time chatbots. The Llama 3 variant probably has better language understanding and response generation skills. This keeps Meta’s privacy-focused method by preventing personal data from being trained accidentally.
