Last Thursday invited the U.S. government the CEOs of companies in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) to the White House. The meeting was attended by Google bosses, among others Sundar PichaiMicrosoft CEO Satya Nadella as well as Sam Altman from OpenAI. Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg was not invited.
When asked by a CNN report, a White House spokesman confirmed that Meta did not receive an invitation to the meeting, according to Business Insider reported.
This was justified with the statement, which was unflattering for Meta, that the meeting focused on companies that are currently leaders in the field be.
AI offensive at meta
After the success of his Metaverse plans has so far remained manageable, Zuckerberg recently pushed artificial intelligence at his company. The company’s largest single investment is in the further development of artificial intelligence, he announced in March. Before that, Meta presented its language model LLaMA researchers.
When presenting the latest quarterly figures, the Meta boss raved about chatbots and AI tools for generating images that will soon be available in the services WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram should be available. Also in the virtual world Horizon Worlds users will soon be able to create avatars and virtual objects with the help of generative artificial intelligence.
admonishing words
After all, Zuckerberg can take the warning words of the US President to heart for his AI plans. Biden urged company leaders to ensure their products are safe before they are deployed. The success of ChatGPT, which has been available to the public since late November, had alarmed the industry. After Microsoft integrated the chatbot into its Bing search integrated, Google was also under pressure to act. The chatbot Bard can already be tried. Next week, the search company wants to at its developer conference I/O Introduce search applications with artificial intelligence.
However, the industry initiatives are being joined by increasing awareness of the risks of the technology. Geoffrey Hintonwho played a key role in the development of artificial neural networks, recently resigned from Google and warned of the dangers of the systems.
