Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg plans to develop an advanced AI that imitates human abilities and will be available as open source.
The world of technology is experiencing an upswing in the development of artificial intelligence (AI), and now Meta, under the leadership of CEO Mark Zuckerberg (which recently also has an office in Munich), has joined this exciting race.
Zuckerberg recently revealed his vision to create a form of AI that goes beyond what previously seemed possible.
He wants to develop a so-called artificial general intelligence (AGI) that has the potential to handle all intellectual tasks that a human can.
The introduction of an AI studio at Meta was also recently announced.
Meta includes Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Whatsapp.

Meta wants to publish the super AI: What does artificial general intelligence mean?
AGI stands for an advanced form of AI that can be used universally, in contrast to specialized AI systems that are only aimed at specific tasks.
AGI would have the ability to learn, understand and adapt to a variety of challenges, similar to human intelligence.
Zuckerberg sees this as the next stage of evolution in the world of AI, a kind of “superintelligence.”
In an official statement, Zuckerberg outlined the broad applications of this technology, from AI assistants to creative and entrepreneurial applications.
The challenge lies in developing an AI that has thinking, planning, programming and cognitive abilities similar to those of humans.
Zuckerberg's vision is to create an AI that not only reflects human intelligence, but potentially goes beyond it.
It was recently announced that the meta image generator trains with photos from Instagram and Facebook, as NEXTG.tv reports.
Future direction and implementation at Meta: A step into a new era of AI at Meta
While details about exactly how AGI will shape Meta remain unclear, Zuckerberg has offered some insight into possible directions.
What will be crucial is how the AGI will be able to handle tasks that require human reasoning and intuition.
To achieve these ambitious goals, Zuckerberg plans to link the internal AI research laboratory FAIR more closely with the department for generative AI applications.
With Meta's entry into the development of an AGI, Zuckerberg underlines the importance of this technology for the future.
His vision of “superintelligence” marks an exciting and potentially revolutionary step in the world of artificial intelligence.
It remains to be seen how Meta will turn these ambitious plans into reality.
Recently, the head of Meta - which also includes Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp - made more headlines because Mark Zuckerberg now has a mega bunker in Hawaii.
