Facebook's AI: A New Way to Edit Your Unshared Photos

Facebook is rolling out a new feature that lets its AI suggest edits for photos on your phone that you haven't shared yet. This is happening in the U. S. and Canada. Users can choose to let Facebook's AI analyze their camera roll and suggest edits. These suggestions can be for collages, recaps, AI restyling, and more. To make this work, Facebook's app needs permission to upload your photos to its cloud. This happens on an ongoing basis. Facebook says it won't use these photos for ad targeting or to improve its AI systems unless you edit or share the photos. You can turn this feature off anytime. When you agree to Facebook's AI Terms of Service, you allow your photos to be analyzed. This means Facebook can summarize image contents, modify images, and generate new content based on your photos. It also uses the date and details in your photos to create suggestions. This gives Facebook more information about you, your relationships, and your life. Giving Facebook access to your unshared photos could give it an advantage in the AI race. It provides a wealth of user data and behavioral insights. This could lead to new AI features. You can find the settings for this feature under the Preferences section of Facebook's Settings. There are two toggles. One lets Facebook suggest photos from your camera roll. The other enables or disables the "cloud processing" feature.
