Facebook's AI Scans Photos: What Users Need to Know

Meta, the company that owns Facebook, is trying out a new feature that wants to look at your photos.

This feature, called cloud processing, is supposed to make fun things like collages and filters for you.

But, it also means Meta can scan all your photos, even the ones you haven't shared, to learn about your photos.

This makes some people nervous, because it means the company could be collecting even more information about you.

If you don't want this, you can turn the feature off, and Meta says they'll delete the photos within a month.

Experts say to be careful, because the feature might seem fun, but could be a way for the company to get your personal information.
