Meta Boss Mark Zuckerberg Becomes an AI: His Clone Can Chat with Employees
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly developing a “twin” or clone of himself using artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
This report was first revealed by the media outlet The Financial Times. The report states that Zuckerberg’s AI clone is designed to mimic his communication style as well as his thought patterns in working.
The AI version of Zuckerberg will be able to carry out some of the tasks he usually performs, while also communicating with Meta employees.
Unlike ordinary AI chatbots, this Zuckerberg AI not only imitates his way of speaking but is also crafted to replicate Zuckerberg’s way of thinking.
This effort is part of Meta’s larger project to create 3D AI characters capable of real-time interactions.
In this context, the AI version of Zuckerberg is trained using data from his internal behaviour and communication, so it is expected to provide responses that closely resemble the original.
The main goal of developing this AI is to increase connectivity between employees and company leadership.
With the presence of the AI version of Zuckerberg, employees are said to be able to ask questions and receive answers as if directly from the CEO, without needing to interact in person.
Creating one’s own AI clone is not new for Meta. In 2024, the company launched the AI Studio platform, which allows Instagram creators to make AI versions of themselves and interact with followers via direct messages (DMs).
Although in practice, such interactions are still based on a system that mimics human communication styles, rather than direct communication with the actual person as one might imagine.
The development of this AI cloning is said to be part of Meta’s ambition to build “superintelligence” and digital systems capable of replicating the human brain.
Although still far from perfect, this project is seen as an initial step towards AI that can interact like real humans.
Beyond that, Meta is also rumoured to be preparing AI-based bot profiles on Facebook and Instagram.
Similar to AI cloning technology, these bot profiles are expected to make digital communication increasingly realistic, as gathered by KompasTekno from Social Media Today.
