Facebook's latest AI feature can scan your phone's camera roll

Facebook has introduced a new AI feature that can scan users' phone camera rolls to create AI-generated collages and photo edits. The feature is currently available in North America and will soon be tested in other countries. The feature is opt-in, meaning users have to grant permission for Facebook to access their photo libraries. However, if users choose to use the AI editing tools or share the results, their media may be used to train Facebook's AI models. The company claims that the feature is designed to help users find "hidden gems" in their photo libraries and turn them into shareable content. The feature's suggestions are private to the user until they choose to share them. While the feature is touted as a user-friendly tool, it also raises privacy concerns, as Facebook may have access to users' personal media. Users can choose to ignore the feature or turn it off at any time through Facebook's camera roll settings.
