WhatsApp now offers an optional Artificial Intelligence (AI) feature called Meta AI, allowing users to interact directly with a virtual assistant within the application. Meta AI provides various services, including answering questions, generating texts, translating text, summarizing long pieces of text, offering suggestions for proofreading, helping with planning and organizing, talking about shared interests, and creating AI-generated images in chats. The Tanzania Privacy Professionals Association (TPPA) recognizes the need to raise awareness about new technological developments and their impact on data protection and privacy. Ethical considerations include keeping conversations secure and private, complying with PDPA and other relevant laws, using Meta AI to enhance communication, adding value for businesses, avoiding including sensitive information in chats, limiting WhatsApp use for official matters, updating internal data protection policies, and not sharing identifying information in AI chats. TPPA remains available to offer advice and professional support on how to navigate the increasing presence of AI and emerging technologies in the workplace, home environment, and other aspects of life.
