According to a report, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is preparing an artificial intelligence avatar intended to replace him in meetings and interact with employees.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg could soon have an artificial intelligence version of himself that can interact with his employees instead of him. According to Financial Times article, a team is working on developing photorealistic, 3D AI characters with which users can interact in real time.
The company has reportedly recently begun prioritizing an AI avatar of Zuckerberg and is training it on his mannerisms, tone of voice, and publicly available statements, as well as Zuckerberg’s current thoughts on corporate strategies, “so that employees feel more connected to the founder through interaction with him.” According to one of the sources, the Meta chief is personally involved in training and testing his AI. However, the project is still in its early stages.
In March, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Zuckerberg is developing an AI agent of himself to support him as CEO. However, according to the Financial Times, this project is separate from Meta's work on an AI CEO avatar, which aims to provide employees with discussions and feedback.
According to the Financial Times, the development of 3D characters with artificial intelligence is part of a broader initiative to restructure the Meta group with the help of Artificial Intelligence.
The company is investing billions to expand its AI capabilities. In early April, it was announced that Meta is acquiring $21 billion worth of AI cloud capacity over the next six years from CoreWeave.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
