Meta will be utilizing data taken from its AI interface to create a more personalized experience. The About Facebook website outlines how the data will be used. “ For example, if you chat with Meta AI about hiking, we may learn that you’re interested in hiking — just as we would if you posted a reel about hiking or liked a hiking-related Page. As a result, you might start seeing recommendations for hiking groups, posts from friends about trails, or ads for hiking boots.” Source: https://about.fb.com/news/2025/10/improving-your-recommendations-apps-ai-meta/  Fortune discusses more about the feature, even making predictions about Metas next steps. The article seems to express discomfort over consumer privacy. https://fortune.com/2025/10/02/meta-ai-chatbot-update-exploits-privacy-monetize-chat-data-facebook-instagram-messenger-ray-ban-display-glasses/ Meta is interested in easing consumers into their new features that involve the controversial use of AI and giving advertisers personal information. There is a bias toward AI technology and profit optimization. The Fortune article title seeks to shock readers and indicates that there is controversy over increasingly intrusive technology, this is further reinforced by the articles skeptical tone regarding this new feature. There might be the impulse to over exaggerate to draw in a larger audience.

You state that there is bias towards AI technology and profit optimization. Is there any impact that would make on the statement given by Meta, or is that solely their motivation for this change?
