Meta aims to build a future to connect ‘physical and digital’

Al Jazeera  

Meta unveiled new AI products for consumers as well as bots and an updated virtual-reality headset. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg kicked off the tech giant’s Connect developer conference on Wednesday with new AI products for consumers, including smart glasses that can answer questions and stream directly on Facebook, as well as bots that create photo-realistic images and an updated virtual-reality headset. Standing in a courtyard at his company’s Menlo Park, California, headquarters, Zuckerberg told the audience of developers, employees and journalists that Meta is “focused on building the future of human connection” – and painted a near-future where people interact with hologram versions of their friends or coworkers and with AI bots built to assist them. Zuckerberg also introduced an AI personal assistant that people can interact with using any of Meta’s messaging apps – along with a smattering of AI characters he called “a bit more fun”, such as “Max the sous chef”, who can help come up with ideas for dinner, or Lily, a “personal editor and writing partner”. He also introduced the next version of Meta’s Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses, which let people record videos or take photos, livestream, listen to music and interact with the Meta AI assistant.
