Facebook wants your photos to train its AI and create edits, even if you don’t upload them

Facebook is asking users for access to their phone’s camera roll in order to suggest AI edited versions of their pictures, even for the ones that haven’t been uploaded to the social media platform yet. According to a Techcrunch report, the new feature is being suggested to Facebook users while creating a new Story where a screen pop up asks them if they would like to opt into “cloud processing” to allow for creative suggestions.

Once the users click on “Allow”, they would give Facebook the right to generate new ideas from their camera roll including collages, recaps, AI restylings or photo themes.
