Impact Indicators
Job Displacement
No verified job-loss data exists for Meta AI or Llama. The available peer-reviewed evidence measures broader generative-AI effects on freelance labor demand, not displacement caused by this model. Meta's own layoffs and restructuring are not evidence that Meta AI or Llama displaced work.
Privacy & Surveillance
Meta AI has drawn regulator scrutiny in Ireland over Meta's use of public adult Facebook and Instagram content to train its AI; the regulator's own statement describes engagement and continued scrutiny, not a finding, enforcement action or violation. Separately, personal prompts shared through Meta AI's Discover feed were publicly visible, and Meta patched a flaw that could have exposed other users' prompts and responses, with no confirmed exploitation reported.
Water Usage
No measured water figure exists for this model, for Llama generally, or for the Meta AI product. Meta reports company and data-center water figures, but those totals cannot be attributed to this model, withdrawal is not the same as consumption, and restoration volumes do not reduce consumption. The remaining industry evidence is modeled and estimated, not measured for this model.
Energy & Carbon
No measured energy or carbon figure exists for this model. Meta's published training figures describe an earlier Llama version and are retained only as research on a different model version; they are not transferred here. Meta's company-level energy and market-based emissions reporting is an accounting result for its overall operations, not this model's measured load, and the remaining industry evidence is modeled.
U.S. reporting requirements do not yet provide standardized, model-level disclosure for many AI human and environmental impacts. When U.S. evidence is incomplete, DoctorKnow uses verifiable EU regulatory disclosures, public-sector data, independent research, and reputable journalism to provide the strongest evidence currently available.
Evidence scope is identified as model-specific, provider-level, facility-level, regional/grid, or industry-level.
