Meta, directly through its founder Mark Zuckerberg, announced the launch of Meta AI. Meta’s new intelligent assistant is designed to significantly improve the user experience within the most popular apps, from WhatsApp to Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg himself, through a post on Instagram, defined the launch day as a “Big Day” not bothering to hide theenthusiasm for the advanced capabilities of Meta AI, which promises to proactively assist users in their daily activitiesimproving not only interaction but also efficiency in the use of apps.
Unlike previous investments in the Metaverse, which however have not yet brought the desired results, the launch of Meta AI marks a change in strategy. The open source technology allows developers to contribute and adapt the assistant to the specific needs of users, ensuring more natural integration and greater customization. Meta AI will be everywhere in Meta apps: from news feeds to search to chats. The user will be able to interact with the assistant for a wide range of tasks or to request any information.
Thus Zuckerberg himself on the occasion of the launch of Meta AI: “Big news today on artificial intelligence. We are releasing the new version of Meta AI, our assistant to which you can ask any question through our apps and glasses. Our goal is to build the world’s leading artificial intelligence.
We are updating Meta AI with the our new artificial intelligence model Llama 3 at the cutting edge, where we are open source. With this new model, we believe Meta AI is now the smartest AI assistant that you can freely use.
We’re making Meta AI easier to use by integrating it into search boxes at the top of WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger. We also created a website, meta.ai, for use on the web.
We’ve also created some unique creation features, such as the ability to animate photos. Meta AI now generates high-quality images so fast that it creates and updates them in real time as you type. It will also generate a playback video of your creation process.”
