Meta Platforms Inc. is building a "top-level product group" that's focused on generative AI technologies, according to Mark Zuckerberg.
In a Facebook post today, the CEO said Meta has started pulling together various teams working on generative AI across the company into a single group that's "focused on building delightful experiences around this technology."
Specifically, the group is exploring AI experiences related to text, including chat in Meta's WhatsApp and the Messenger instant messaging app.
- As well, members will work on generative AI in images through "creative Instagram filters and ad formats," as well as multi-modal AI experiences in video, Zuckerberg said.
- The group is intended to "turbocharge" Meta's work in generative AI, he said, noting that there is "a lot of foundational work to do before getting to the really futuristic experiences."
- According to Axios, Meta AI/ML VP Ahmad Al-Dahle will lead the new product team, which will report to Meta chief product officer Chris Cox.
Last week, Meta announced its new LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) collection of language models.
- Zuckerberg said the models have demonstrated "a lot of promise in generating text, having conversations, summarizing written material and more complicated tasks like solving math theorems or predicting protein structures."
