Meta AI Unveils Innovative Personalization Features

Meta’s AI can now remember details about you, like your interests and past conversations, making interactions feel more personal. While this could make AI more useful, it also raises concerns about how much data Meta is tracking.

Key Details:

1. AI Remembers Your Preferences
   Instead of treating every chat like a fresh start, Meta AI will now recall things like your favorite foods, workout routines, or past interactions. This makes conversations feel more natural and customized over time.

2. Works Across Meta Apps
   Meta is rolling out this feature in the U.S. and Canada, allowing its AI to sync memory across its major platforms. If you mention a trip in Messenger, the AI can remember it when you ask for recommendations on WhatsApp.
   

3. Privacy Concerns Are Growing
   Users can review and delete their AI memory, but there’s no way to completely opt out. While Meta says this makes AI more helpful, critics worry about how much personal data the company will store and use.
