Meta offers AI rival chatbots limited free WhatsApp access, sources say

Meta Platforms has offered to give rival AI chatbots including OpenAI free access to its social messaging service WhatsApp in Europe, but will start charging them once they hit a limit, two people with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.

The details of the offer, previously unreported, come as Mark Zuckerberg’s tech and social media giant that also controls Facebook, looks to appease increasingly tough EU regulators that are tightening the screws on Big ‌Tech.
