Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, stated that current developments in artificial intelligence (AI) technology present an “opportunity to introduce AI agents to billions of people in ways that will be useful and meaningful.”
The comments were made by Zuck during a teleconference with investors on Wednesday after Meta released its first-quarter financial results.
His remarks served as a reminder to investors that Meta is committed to competing with OpenAI, which is sponsored by Microsoft, and Google in the development of generative AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard, which have attracted a lot of interest lately.
As Microsoft and Google began incorporating AI technology into their web goods, Zuckerberg was eager to inform investors that similar capabilities created by Meta will “touch every single one of our products” and be helpful for “regular people, creators, and businesses.”

The co-founder of Facebook gave the example of how “tens of millions of AI agents” employed by businesses could improve customer service interactions, leading to “way more businesses that can afford to have people engaging in chat.”
The head of Meta stated that despite recent reports indicating a shift toward AI, his organization is still committed to building the metaverse.
Just a few months ago, Zuckerberg said that Meta was consolidating its AI teams as part of a structural restructuring meant to “turbocharge” its efforts in that field.

They also come after significant changes at Meta, where more than 20,000 positions have been lost recently. Zuckerberg had previously declared 2023 to be the “year of efficiency.”
On Wednesday, Meta revealed $28.6 billion in revenue for the January-to-March 31 period. Profit was $5.7 billion, which was a 24 percent decline from the same time previous year.
