[EU Plans to Launch Antitrust Investigation into Meta, Focusing on WhatsApp's Integration of AI Features] The European Union plans to launch a new antitrust investigation into Meta's integration of artificial intelligence features into its messaging app WhatsApp. Reportedly, the European Commission will investigate how Meta introduced its 'MetaAI' system into WhatsApp earlier this year. This investigation falls under the scope of traditional antitrust laws rather than the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Italy's antitrust authority has already initiated a related investigation into Meta, accusing the company of leveraging its market dominance to integrate AI features into WhatsApp without user consent. The European Commission is expected to officially announce this investigation in the coming days, though the exact timing may be subject to change.
