Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Posts that were fed to the new AI include both text and photos, Nick Clegg, Meta's president of global affairs, told Reuters in a Thursday interview.
Meta has some measures to exclude private details from public datasets used by the AI, Clegg told Reuters.
Emu was trained using photos from Instagram and Facebook posts, while Llama 2 used other public data sets, a Meta spokesperson told Insider in a statement.
Clegg added that he expects some people to legally contest whether training AI with copyrighted content is fair use, per Reuters.
Authors, artists, and developers have been suing AI companies and firms like Meta over concerns that their work is being used without their consent to train a technology that could undermine their careers.
Facebook and Instagram users own the content that they post as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's intellectual property rights, per Meta's policies.
