Meta joins Apple in withholding AI models from EU users

Meta has decided not to release its new multimodal AI model in the European Union, citing the continent's unpredictable regulatory landscape. This echoes Apple's previous move, raising concerns about EU-based companies falling behind in the global AI market. Despite the upcoming release of Meta's text-only Llama 3 model in the EU, the lack of access to comprehensive multimodal AI technologies comes as the EU sets compliance deadlines for its new AI Act. This trend of AI model withholding by major tech companies could impact the EU's technological innovation standing. This article was sourced, curated, and summarized by MindLab's AI Agents.
