EU to investigate Meta over AI use in WhatsApp, according to FT

Brussels is set to initiate a fresh antitrust inquiry targeting Meta Platforms over the introduction of artificial intelligence features in WhatsApp, according to a report by the Financial Times.

The European Commission is expected to examine how Meta incorporated its AI system into the messaging app earlier this year, sources familiar with the matter told the newspaper. The announcement of the probe could happen in the coming days, although the schedule might change.

Meta has not publicly commented on the potential EU investigation. A company representative declined to provide remarks to the Financial Times regarding the upcoming probe.
