Meta CEO speaking in a recent live broadcast Mark Zuckerberg, referred to their new work for the metaverse. In the statement made by the company, it was announced that various additional features were developed, including the capacity to build worlds and products.
The new artificial intelligence project focused on building the metaverse space of Meta was also announced by Zuckerberg in this publication. When it comes to the expansion and evolution of the Metaverse, the CEO announced at the “Inside the Lab” event on February 23 that artificial intelligence will serve as “the key to unlocking much of this path of advancement.”
What Advances Will Meta’s Artificial Intelligence Bring for the Metaverse?
Meta‘s initiatives will focus on creating worlds through speech, improving people’s ability to communicate with voice assistants, and translating between languages. The aim was to make it easier for users to create and design a metaverse world.
Project CAIRoke, has been recognized as the name of a model to be used to develop the smart assistant, and is one of the cornerstones of this effort. More features were revealed during the stream, including a video calling device that will work with AR and VR. While not too many details have been given regarding these features, they do offer a clear picture of Meta’s direction.
The AI Learning Alliance makes machine learning curriculum available to everyone through Blueprint. Meta also announced that it was forming a consortium of teachers to teach this curriculum at universities with large student populations from underrepresented groups.
Meta is also building the world’s most powerful AI supercomputer called the Research SuperCluster (RSC).
Could the entire focus have shifted to the Metaverse World?
Despite Meta’s recent setbacks causing the company’s market value to drop by hundreds of billions of dollars, the company appears to be fully committed to the world of the metaverse. For the first time, Facebook’s user growth stagnated, and Apple’s action on its privacy policies cost Meta a significant amount of money.
Meta’s path to recovery seems to go through the metaverse. However, Meta isn’t the only company working on metaverse initiatives, of course. Microsoft also continues to invest heavily in the industry by acquiring Activision Blizzard for metaverse developments.
Concerns about the meta continue at full speed. While the most important problems of businesses are reported as offensive language and toxic behavior, it will take a lot of work to ensure that the wider world like the metaverse can be controlled.
