What is the Meta AI on Instagram?

The social media giant Meta has been experimenting with chatbot and is all set to release Meta Ai, a personal chatbot on platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp. The announcement was made official in the October update of Instagram.

Meta AI can be used by users in Instagram DMs. It is to be noted that Meta AI can only read messages sent to “@Meta AI.” Instagram, on its official website, has said that the responses from AI should not be considered 100% accurate and the chatbot should not be used to make important decisions.

Meta AI has only been trained in English, so it is quite obvious that the responses in other languages can be of lower quality. While all the other messages on Instagram are end-to-end encrypted, messages mentioning the Meta AI assistant and their responses are not end-to-end encrypted.

The messages that you send to Meta AI should follow Instagram’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Use, or else you may face a ban on the platform. Apart from Meta AI assistant; a user can now also use AI stickers on the platform.
