In the race to the future, nobody wants to be left behind. Especially when it comes to the latest trend among the “Big Techs”: the artificial intelligence.
After OpenAI rocked the market (and the public) with the ChatGPT companies like Microsoft and the Google announced a series of innovations with technology, proposing to improve, for example, the experience with their search engines.
Following the current – which seems to have no turning back – Mark Zuckerberg announced the creation of a team dedicated to the development of “high-level products focused on Artificial Intelligence”.
In a statement released on his Facebook profile this Monday (27), the CEO of Meta said he was focused on “creating pleasant experiences” with technology. However, the results should not be so fast.

Video and “multimodal experiences” should also fall within the scope of research and development of future AI tools.
In the post, Zuckerberg also clarified the division of efforts of his teams. At first, they will focus on building “creative and expressive” tools. Further down the road, the idea is to develop “AI personas that can help people in a variety of ways.”
The executive still recognized that there is a lot of work to be done ahead, but said he was excited about the “new things we will build along the way”.

Google, on the other hand, was not very successful either. Before it was even launched, Google’s long-awaited new AI chatbot tool Bard was embroiled in controversy after producing an inaccurate response in a demo this week.
Shares in Alphabet, Google’s parent, ended up falling 7.7%, wiping $100 billion from its market value, after Bard’s inaccurate response was first reported.
