## AI overview

This Meta engineering article presents a hybrid approach to asset classification for privacy-aware infrastructure. It combines rich context, LLMs for ambiguous or novel assets, human-reviewed labels, and deterministic versioned rules for routine production enforcement.

## Source excerpt

Privacy controls -- systems that enforce retention, access, allowed-purpose, downstream-sharing, or anonymization policies -- require a reliable understanding of data to function. Before such a control can operate effectively, it must know exactly what it is looking at. This can be complex, as demonstrated by a field simply named "age": In one context, it [...] Read More...
