Meta will work to make these AI capabilities available to people.
Mark Zuckerberg recently revealed that Meta (NASDAQ: META) is experiencing “incredible progress” in the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Like many other tech giants, Meta is in the middle of the AI race, the latest evolution of the market. Not only technology companies, but also various organizations in various fields are starting to incorporate AI into their latest developments.
Metarecords make big strides in generative AI
At a meeting with employees on Thursday, Meta’s boss spoke about areas where the company is using generative AI, according to a spokeswoman. The conference was held at the Hacker Square Pavilion at the tech company’s headquarters in Menlo Park. Remarkably, the event was the first time it happened at the location since the pre-pandemic era.
In a statement shared with CNBCZuckerberg said:
“Last year we saw some really incredible breakthroughs, qualitative breakthroughs, in generative AI. We had the opportunity to incorporate it into our product.”
He further said Meta will work on making these AI features available to people. The CEO said the company brings technology to people in a unique way. He and other executives discuss how AI can help create his 3D visuals for the Metaverse. Zuckerberg is certainly passionate about AI, as Meta announced that employees now have access to multiple generative AI tools. The aim is to allow them to develop prototypes while the company hosts hackathons to showcase his AI projects.
Meta CEO’s plans include introducing AI text, image and video generation capabilities into flagship products such as Facebook and Instagram. This development will allow Instagram users to modify their photos via text prompts and share them through the Stories feature. Additionally, Meta is working to make his AI-powered chatbot available to Messenger and WhatsApp users.
Instagram is reportedly working on an AI chatbot
Meanwhile, Coinspeaker reported Wednesday that Meta-owned Instagram was reportedly working on an AI chatbot. The issue was brought to light by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, who shared several screenshots suggesting the social media app is about to unveil an AI chatbot.
Mehta also referenced recent job cuts at the same event and talked about “groundbreaking advances” the company has seen in AI. The tech giant began further layoffs in late May. The new decision means that an additional 6,000 employees will lose their jobs, in addition to the more than 20,000 job cuts since November. Other layoffs focused on engineering and recruiting teams, or new hires in business units.
