Facebook-parent Meta is reportedly developing an artificial intelligence-powered version of its CEO Mark Zuckerberg that can interact with employees in his place. According to a report by Financial Times, the project is part of Meta’s broader push to embed AI deeply into its products and operations. The FT report suggests that the company is working on photorealistic, 3D AI characters capable of real-time interaction. While Meta has experimented with celebrity-inspired chatbots and user-generated AI personas, insiders say the focus has now shifted to building a Zuckerberg character trained on his mannerisms, tone, and public statements. This goal of the company will enable the employees to feel more connected to the founder, even when he is not present physically.
