After all, the executive pointed out that in the short term the focus of the division will be “build creative and expressive tools”but in the long term it will bet on projects such as the “development of AI people to help people in various ways”.
“We are exploring experiences with text (like chat on WhatsApp and Messenger), with images (like Instagram creative filters and ad formats), and with video and multimodal experiences. We have a lot of fundamental work to do before we get to the truly futuristic experiences, but I’m excited about all the new things we’ll build along the way,” Zuckerberg said.
For now there are no concrete details on how Meta is working on those “AI people”.
