Meta is bringing its AI chatbot to Europe, but some features are missing. In a blog post Thursday, Meta explained that the "complex regulatory system" in Europe prevented it to launch Meta AI there, even though it's been available in the U.S. since 2023.

Bringing Meta AI to Europe involved "almost a year of intensive engagement with various European regulators," the company says.

Meta is rolling out its AI assistant across 41 European countries, including to members of the European Union, and 21 overseas territories.
