The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday, April 14, edition that Meta is building an artificial intelligence version of Mark Zuckerberg that can engage with employees in his stead, as part of a broader push to remake the Big Tech company around artificial intelligence. A Financial Times dispatch to the Post reports that the $1.6-trillion (U.S.) group has been working on developing photorealistic, AI-powered 3D characters that users can interact with in real time. The company recently began prioritizing a Zuckerberg AI character, say three unnamed sources. Mr. Zuckerberg is personally involved in training and testing his animated AI, which could offer conversation and feedback to employees, according to one source. Sources added that the character was being trained on the billionaire's mannerisms, tone and publicly available statements, as well as his own recent thinking on company strategies, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it. The effort, which is at an early stage, is separate from Mr. Zuckerberg's project to build a "CEO agent" to support him in his role, for example by retrieving information quickly. That idea was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
