Meta Corporation is developing several artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots with different personalities, including Abraham Lincoln, according to the Financial Times.
Sources familiar with the matter say that Meta employees have referred to the chatbots as "characters" and they take on the form of different personalities. Chatbot prototypes are currently under development, and final products can have human-level discussions with users.
One of the bots speaks like former US President Abraham Lincoln, while the other gives advice to travelers in the voice of a surfer. Their goal is to offer recommendations and new search features, and to be "a fun product for people to play with." The launch of the bots should take place in September.
AI lawsuit against Meta
Last month, Meta and chatbot developer OpenAI faced a lawsuit from writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadri. They claim that the AI models of the two companies were trained on their jobs. The works of the authors were received from pirated sites that "have long been used for AI training."
However, the authors did not consent to the use of their copyrighted books as teaching material for ChatGPT. In Meta, the works of the authors were used to train LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) language models.
Chatbot Race
In February, it became known about Meta's plans to create an AI-based chatbot. CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a message that Meta plans to allocate resources to develop its own chatbot. However, he did not provide any specific details on this topic, except that the company is going to pay increased attention to AI specialists.
Thus, Meta joined other tech giants who were also inspired by the success of the popular ChatGPT chatbot, along with Google and Microsoft.
