Meta and Snapchat announce new AI features

 

Meta Platforms announced a new product group that would focus on generative AI.  The move comes as big tech companies race to incorporate artificial intelligence models and machine learning techniques into their products. In a Facebook post, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the new group would combine several teams across Meta and be organized under current Chief Product Officer Chris Cox. Zuckerberg said the team would build creative and expressive tools that would be used inside Meta’s products. Meta plans to explore experiences with text, images, video, and multi-modal experiences. Snapchat parent Snap Inc. also unveiled a new AI chatbot powered by OpenAI’s technology. Snapchat’s chatbot, dubbed My AI, is available to Snapchat+ users, the company’s $3.99 a month subscription service.
