You can now use Meta AI in the UK and five other countries
Meta announced on Wednesday the expansion of Meta AI, the company’s in-house artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, to six new countries. The United Kingdom has been included in the list of countries that will now have access to the AI chatbot. The social media giant also highlighted that the AI platform will soon be expanded to another 15 countries, bringing the total number of supported countries to 43. In addition to introducing Meta AI within its social media apps, the company has also added voice-based AI capabilities to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in the UK and Australia.
Adding one update In its July post where Meta AI was first expanded to new regions including India, the social media giant stated that the AI chatbot has been rolled out to six new countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Paraguay, the Philippines and the UK. In addition, support for the Tagalog language spoken in the Philippines has also been added. To use the AI Assistant, users in these countries can simply update Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp and should see the new Meta AI icon.
In addition, the company also added that the chatbot will soon be expanded to another 15 countries, including Algeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Thailand, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam and Yemen. It is believed that Meta AI will be rolled out to these locations before the end of the current year. The AI will also be updated to support Arabic, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese languages.
The United Kingdom and Australia are also getting Meta AI capabilities on the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with the current rollout. However, the company has limited the AI assistant to voice-only functions. That means the recently announced computer vision-based features won’t be available to users in those countries.
