The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has reached an agreement with Meta, allowing the company to train its AI models within the UK.

Matthew Sinclair, CCIA Senior Director and head of CCIA’s London office, commented on the development: "It is very encouraging to see more cutting-edge AI development able to take place in the UK. This shows that genuine collaboration between industry and regulators can foster a framework where privacy protections and an environment conducive to investment and innovation work seamlessly together. Today is a positive sign for the Government’s ambitions for the UK’s role in the global digital economy."
