Meta Platforms will not launch its Meta AI in Europe for now following a request from the Irish privacy regulator, the US social media company said on Friday, Reuters reported.

"We're disappointed by the request from the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), our lead regulator, on behalf of the European DPAs, to delay training our large language models (LLMs) using public content shared by adults on Facebook and Instagram — particularly since we incorporated regulatory feedback and the European DPAs have been informed since March," the company said in an updated blogpost.
