WhatsApp has recently incorporated a new function in its messaging application: Goal AI, an artificial intelligence function. It is shown with a blue circle in its interface and works similarly to other chatbots such as chatgpt, with the difference that the platform is directly integrated in the messaging application and it is not necessary to download additional apps to use it.
To use AI goal at whatsapp, you just have to open the application and touch The blue circlelocated in the lower right corner. You can ask questions, keep conversations or translate texts. Likewise, you can invoke a goal AI in group chats writing “@Metaai”.
However, although it may seem another aid tool, many application users are beginning to distrust artificial intelligence. This is because The new AI does not have end -to -end encryptionthat is, the conversations that are with goal AI are not protected as normal conversations, which compromises privacy.
Similarly, the intelligence of Meta Use data to train AI, so personal conversations or doubts consulted to the tool are subsequently used to improve algorithms, which raises Confidentiality concerns and confidentiality of users.
Uninstall WhatsApp, the only option
On the other hand, the chatbot also has a negative impact on the performance of the device, since it consumes battery and mobile data, especially affecting low or old range phones.
In this sense, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has expressed concern about the use of personal data by the goal to train their artificial intelligence (AI).
For all this, the Internet has been filled with tutorials and articles that explain how to eliminate it. However, according to Javier Pastor, editor of the technology website Xataka, “cannot be uninstall“. As explained by the expert in the program In Herrero’s houseof Esradiothe only way to eliminate chatbot is to uninstall WhatsApp, an unthinkable measure for most users.
Data claim
However, you can “claim that they do not use the data“, as Pastor has stressed, although it is a complicated process. As pointed out,” in Xataka We have articles that help find those adjustments to use this right. “
As the expert stressed, you have to be “care” about what is put in this artificial intelligence, although it is used safely, “Without putting sensitive or private data“There should be no problem.
The surprising thing about the situation is the lack of goal ethics, since “just received A fine of 200 million euros by the European Union For violation of the digital market line standard for not protecting user data, “Pastor has underlined.
In addition, the company has just been discovered “stealing megabytes to train their artificial intelligence models“, so a” fine “can also fall. Even with all this,” he wants more data to train his artificial intelligence and collect them in a hidden and hidden way, “the expert concluded.
