Why are CEOs like Zuckerberg building AI versions of themselves?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nMeta is developing a photorealistic, three-dimensional AI avatar of Mark Zuckerberg, trained on his public statements, mannerisms and current corporate strategy, that will enable employees to video-call him for managerial guidance and feedback.<\/p>\n
Zuckerberg is personally engaged in testing it. If this sounds like science fiction, Jack Dorsey is already running a version of the same idea on a larger scale.<\/p>\n
Zuckerbot: What is the meta really creating?<\/h2>\n
From 13th April financial Times<\/i> In the article, the avatar creation project is still in its infancy, but it is considered one of the early priorities in Meta, along with the creation of AI personalities that can interact with Facebook and Instagram users in the future. The bot will pretend to be Zuckerberg and answer questions in his personality.<\/p>\n
Meta has not provided any comments yet. However, there are such precedents. Last February, Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski and Zoom CEO Eric Yuan both built an AI version of themselves to create parts of their earnings call presentations.<\/p>\n
Dorsey is taking things a step further at The Block, formerly known as the Square. In February, the company laid off 40% of its workforce, about 4,000 employees. Dorsey then clarified his vision for the company’s management structure during an interview on the Long Strange Trip podcast in April.<\/p>\n
“I’d like to get it down to two to three this year,” he said of separating them from any employees at the management level. “And in the most ideal case, there are no layers; everyone in the company reports to me, and all 6,000 people in the company would.”<\/p>\n
From Hierarchy to Intelligence, which Dorsey co-wrote with Sequoia Capital partner Roelof Botha, describes the deliberate move from one architectural structure to another. While companies mostly integrate artificial intelligence into existing infrastructure as a way to improve productivity, Botha and Dorsey advocate creating what the company calls a mini AGI (artificial general intelligence).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
