Meta plant, Datenschutzüberprüfungen neuer Funktionen größtenteils von KI durchführen zu lassen. Dies könnte den Entwicklungsprozess erheblich beschleunigen.
In Kürze
- Bis zu 90% der Datenschutzüberprüfungen sollen automatisiert werden
- EU bleibt aufgrund strengerer Gesetze von der Automatisierung ausgenommen
- Kritiker warnen vor möglichen Risiken durch fehlende Expertise
Meta’s Ambitious Plans for AI-Driven Security and Privacy Reviews
Meta, the company behind the social networks Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has big plans: In the future, security and privacy reviews of new features will predominantly be conducted by artificial intelligence (AI). According to a recent report, the goal is to automate up to 90 percent of these so-called privacy and integrity reviews globally. The only exception is the EU, where human reviewers will continue to play a central role due to stricter legal requirements.
Shift from Human to AI Reviews
Previously, teams of experts analyzed potential risks such as the handling of user data or the threat of misinformation before releasing new features. In the future, however, product teams are expected to simply fill out questionnaires and receive rapid decisions from AI, which could significantly accelerate the development process. Critics warn that this could encourage problematic changes, as many developers are not privacy experts and may lack the necessary sensitivity to these issues.
Implementation and Human Oversight
The AI system has been gradually introduced since April 2025. Meta emphasizes that complex cases will continue to be handled by humans to ensure that critical decisions are not made solely by algorithms. The background of this automation is the increasing innovation pressure from competitors like TikTok and OpenAI, which are significantly stirring up the industry.
Future Implications
It remains to be seen how these changes will affect user experience and data protection.
