Meta Platforms, an American multinational technology conglomerate that owns and operates Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp, is set to launch an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots that exhibit ‘different personalities’ and can have ‘humanlike discussions.’
According to Financial Times (FT), Meta is working to launch AI-powered chatbots as early as next month. These chatbots have been called 'personas' by Meta since they will take the form of various characters. One of the bots will be modeled on Abraham Lincoln.
The AI chatbots will give a new search function and suggestions. According to experts, chatbots may acquire large amounts of fresh data about users' interests. In Meta's case, AI-powered chatbots can help it reach out to its target users more effectively, with relevant information and advertisements.
Last month, Meta launched the Threads app. In late July, Threads introduced a new feature called the 'Following' tab just like its rival Twitter.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his official Threads account, “Started rolling out an option for a chronological feed of only people you're following.”
Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, also announced that Threads would bring new features like hashtags, increased search functionality, and editable posts.
In July, the Meta chief and Satya Nadella, an Indian-American business executive who is the executive chairman and CEO of Microsoft, also announced an AI partnership.
Zuckerberg said that Meta partnered with Microsoft to launch the next generation of its AI large language model for research and commercial use.
Zuckerberg said on Instagram, “Today, we are open-sourcing Llama 2 with our preferred partner Microsoft.” He also expressed gratitude to the Microsoft CEO.
Zuckerberg has been in the spotlight in recent months. Recently, he also received his blue belt, marking a key milestone in his jiu-jitsu journey. He revealed that he was promoted to compete at the blue belt level for the Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu San Jose team.
