Mark Zuckerberg wants content creators to use AI clones

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, envisions a future in which content creators create AI replicas of themselves.

Zuckerberg had a conversation with Rowan Cheung, the proprietor of an AI-focused publication. Cheung has also transcribed the key points from the interview on his website, which can be found at https://www.therundown.ai/p/meta-releases-llama-405b.

Zuckerberg’s vision for the future of content creators and businesses includes the ability to create personalized “AI agents.”These agents are customized versions of language models that can be utilized to imitate an individual or convey the tone of a business.

The concept of utilizing an AI clone of either yourself or your business is to create space for additional tasks. Through delegating administrative or mundane responsibilities to the agent, Zuckerberg foresees the potential for engaging with communities through this AI clone.

It is my belief that there will soon be a significant breakthrough, allowing creators to easily integrate their personal information from social media and utilize it to train systems that align with their values, objectives, and goals.

“Once created, individuals will have the opportunity to engage with it, almost like an artistic artifact that allows for various forms of interaction.”

Meta launches new Llama AI models – now it’s looking to the future

Zuckerberg’s interview aligns with the release of Meta’s latest AI language model, Llama 3.1. The model will be available in three versions: 405B, 70B, and 8B.

Each of these options has distinct metrics, with 405B being the top choice for its capabilities. 70B is known for its cost-effectiveness, while 8B is suitable for running on lower-end devices due to its lightweight design.

Zuckerberg embraces open-source development for Meta’s AI, making all three available for free download. This is because he wants AI to be a competitive market.

Our vision is to have a diverse range of AIs and AI services available, rather than just one type of AI dominating the market.

“This greatly influences the open-source approach and the product road map.”

The goal is for Meta’s AI to become the most widely used on the planet by the end of the year by ensuring its accessibility. In his newsletter, Zuckerberg explains that promoting openness is beneficial for Meta.

The core focus of Meta’s business model is to create top-quality experiences and services that cater to people’s needs.

“In order to achieve this, it is crucial that we continuously have access to the top technology and avoid becoming dependent on a rival’s exclusive ecosystem, which could limit our development.”

Since the introduction of advanced generation tools such as Firefly and Stable Diffusion, AI has faced significant criticism. Many are concerned that it will replace jobs, including those of social media managers.

Photographers have already been disqualified from competitions and Pokemon TCG creators are having to carefully review entries suspected to be created with AI. According to a report by Wired, AI art has already made its way into the video game industry, with Call of Duty featuring multiple AI-generated cosmetics for sale in its store.

Despite this, major tech corporations are welcoming the latest advancements, as Apple plans to incorporate ChatGPT and its proprietary Apple Intelligence model into its devices in the coming year.
