Andrew &#8220;Boz&#8221; Bosworth told AFP at the company&#8217;s recent Connect conference for developers.<\/p>\n<p>Meta unveiled AI-infused chatbots with personalities at the gathering, along with tools for creating images or written content using spoken prompts.<\/p>\n<p>The company that owns <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and Instagram has been seen as lagging rivals like Microsoft and Google, which have pushed out generative AI products and invested heavily in the technology seen as a force poised to shape the future.<\/p>\n<p>Bosworth was adamant that Meta is not behind, enhancing its global platforms with AI since before ChatGPT was launched to the public late last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are lots of cool tools, like Stable Diffusion, for generating images,&#8221; Bosworth said of the buzz around AI offerings from other companies.<\/p>\n<p>But the executive was quick to point out that many of these new platforms take time and expert computer skills to master.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We wanted the results to be great and fast, even on smartphones,&#8221; Bosworth said, noting Meta&#8217;s technology allows users to simply ask for an image of &#8220;hedgehog on a bike&#8221; or &#8220;h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp;

that specialized in scientific research.<\/p>\n<p>Galactica could write articles and solve math problems, but at times fabricated answers.<\/p>\n<p>Meta quickly sidelined the tool, a move Bosworth told AFP he thought was a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it had been up to me, I would have left it,&#8221; Bosworth said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had warned that our chatbot was capable of saying anything&#8221; and that users should proceed with that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>AI products by Meta rivals meanwhile remained available despite the potential for bizarre answers referred to as &#8220;hallucinations&#8221; that brought the companies some ridicule.<\/p>\n<p>But after years of controversy about content moderation at its world-leading social media platforms, Meta will likely err on the side of caution when it comes to setting safety parameters for its own creations.<\/p>\n<p>As the other giants pushed out their AI products, Meta in the meantime improved its in-house AI model, releasing Llama 2 earlier this year as open source, meaning developers could tinker with it to create their own chatbots.<\/p>\n<p>                                            <!-- Google middle Adsense block --><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metaverse\"><\/span>Metaverse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A Facebook employee since 2006, Bosworth recently led the division devoted to augmented and virtual reality innovations at the tech firm that was re-branded Meta.<\/p>\n<p>Changing Facebook&#8217;s name in 2021 was billed as reflecting Zuckerberg&#8217;s belief in the metaverse being the next major computing platform.<\/p>\n<p>Critics argued the move was actually part of a strategy to clean up its image after weathering accusations Facebook put profits over the safety and well-being of users.<\/p>\n<p>And, while Meta has invested billions of dollars in its vision of the metaverse, it is far from being realized.<\/p>\n<p>Bosworth conceded that adoption of Meta&#8217;s immersive social networking platform called Horizon Worlds had been slower than hoped, until recently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We should have had legs sooner,&#8221; Bosworth quipped in a reference to adding limbs to virtual world avatars.<\/p>\n<p>At Connect, Meta spoke little of the metaverse and spotlighted products like Ray-Ban smart glasses that allow users to livestream what they see.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mixed reality&#8221; gadgets like its VR headset overlay digital content on what is around the user rather than immersing them completely in virtual realms.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to transition from virtual reality to augmented was also added to new Quest 3 headsets that will be available in October.<\/p>\n<p>People still won&#8217;t be able to see a Quest user&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve tried it, the result can be quite off-putting,&#8221; Bosworth said, noting that building the headgear comes with trade-offs.<\/p>\n<p>The tech world is eagerly waiting for Apple Vision Pro to hit the market early next year, with a hefty price tag of $3,500 compared to the Quest 3&#8217;s $500.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing about that headset that we can&#8217;t build,&#8221; Bosworth said of Apple&#8217;s luxury-priced offering.<\/p>\n<p>But Meta never thought that building something so expensive &#8220;was going to help our developers reach a big enough audience to be meaningful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2023 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                Meta technology chief defends tech titan&#8217;s AI strategy (2023, October 1)<br \/>\n                                                retrieved 1 October 2023<br \/>\n                                                from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2023-10-meta-technology-chief-defends-tech.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
