Chatbots such as ChatGPT<\/a> might one day be an important part of our everyday lives, and Facebook<\/a> is facilitating that by building them into its chat apps, Messenger and WhatsApp. <\/p>\n

In a post published on Monday<\/a>, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company is creating a “new top-level product group (…) focused on generative AI.”<\/p>\n

The team will start by building “creative and expressive tools,” but over the longer term, the focus will be on developing “AI personas that can help people in a variety of ways.”<\/p>\n

These personas will be built into Facebook’s chat apps like WhatsApp and Messenger, but also photo apps like Instagram, as well as “video and multi-modal experiences.”<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg didn’t share too many details about how these user experiences will actually work in real life, and he admits that there’s a “lot of foundational work to do” before the company can actually build something compelling. <\/p>\n

In other words, expect simpler AI-based features and tools first. Fully-fledged AI bots that can help you create the perfect Instagram filter or that can answer your questions on Messenger will come later. <\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that chatbots<\/a> on Messenger have existed as early as 2016, but they had nothing close to the level of human-like conversation ChatGPT offers. Meta has also recently invested big in the Metaverse<\/a>, a loosely-defined set of virtual reality and related technologies, which does include AI to some extent. <\/p>\n

Facebook’s initiative comes after the quick ascent of OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT to one of the most popular apps in the world<\/a>. Microsoft, which is an investor in OpenAI, has moved fast to build ChatGPT’s tech into its search engine, Bing<\/a>; Snapchat has recently announced an AI chatbot <\/a>of its own, and Google is working<\/a> on several AI-related projects as well. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
