WhatsApp owner Meta’s decision to add an AI assistant to the popular messaging app without an off switch has prompted an EU lawmaker to raise concerns with the European Commission (EC) over user control and digital safety.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), MEP Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová said she had submitted a written question to the EC, the EU’s executive body responsible for enforcing laws and regulating tech, to clarify whether the AI complies with EU rules.
