To compete with AI chatbot rivals, Facebook’s parent company Meta has launched its own artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot named Metamate, according to media reports. Social The networking giant recently teased an “incredible breakthrough” in AI, hinting at the announcement of a productivity assistant for staff. Metamate is currently deployed to a small group within the company.
Meta’s Metamate AI chatbot appears to be trained on the company’s internal data, and the chatbot will only be available for internal use. A new AI chatbot is using company data to help staff summarize meetings, write code and debug functions, according to a report from The Verge.
The company’s employees will be able to create their own prompts and share them with colleagues through an AI chatbot.
When considering how to power its chatbot, Meta consulted with Microsoft and OpenAI, the parent company of viral chatbot ChatGPT, but decided to go with a different in-house model.
Earlier this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company would create a new “top-level” product team “focused” on generative AI. The company’s CEO explained that in the short term, the company will focus on building creative and expressive tools.
And in the long term, the company plans to develop “AI personas” to assist users in various ways. Last week, it was reported that Meta-owned Instagram was working on a feature that would allow users to chat with an AI within the app.
Meanwhile, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, expressed optimism about global collaboration on artificial intelligence (AI) after touring various capital cities. . The tour aimed to capitalize on the growing interest in generative AI and shape the regulations surrounding this emerging technology. A high-profile figure representing a Microsoft (MSFT.O)-backed startup, Altman flew on a whirlwind to engage with stakeholders and influence AI regulation.
Regulators around the world face the challenge of adapting existing rules and developing new guidelines to govern the use of generative AI. This technology that can create text and images is causing both excitement and anxiety as it has the potential to reshape various industries.
