Meta to grant EU institutions access to AI model Llama for national security purposes

Tech giant Meta said it will make its artificial intelligence (AI) tool Llama available to “key democratic US allies” in Europe and Asia, amid a push to develop advanced AI for national security reasons.

Meta Platforms, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, said it will extend access to the open-source AI models to France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, NATO, and the European Union.
