Cat summaries fed by AI arrive on WhatsApp

Meta adds a new Message summary functionality to WhatsApp who uses AI to summarize unrelated messages in a few chips. The function is built on the Private treatment technique Meta announced in Llamacon in April and claims to leave AI to work with content in WhatsApp without exposing anything to Meta himself.

Once the feature appears in your application, you simply press the banner on the screen on your unread messages with which says “summarize in private” to receive a summary from Meta AI. The mess of messages of messages takes place to WhatsApp users in the United States by chatting first in English, but Meta says that she hopes to “bring him to other languages ​​and countries later this year”.

The company presents the summaries as an easier way to catch up what you missed if you have not checked your phone or if you are just in too many cats. AI is in no way infallible to even simple tasks like this – Apple Problem with notification summaries It was only a few months ago – but the tool could call on people in particularly important and active cats.

The real novelty of the summaries is how META claims to deploy them without taking over the private nature of WhatsApp’s cats. Company has A blog article And white paper dig into the details of the operation of private treatment, but on the first blushing, it looks like Calculation of private cloudThe method that Apple uses to call on more demanding AI features without exposing the data from its users. Using end -to -end encryption and a secure cloud environment, WhatsApp messages can be processed without the data being accessible during its occurrence or saved afterwards.

Above all, all of this is always optional. The summaries will not be provided without you asking them first and the functionality is disabled by default. Meta also indicates that you can exclude cats to be shared with the company’s AI via the Advanced chat confidentiality functionality.
