Meta establishes a professional AI consulting team to escort the development of AI.
On May 23rd, according to media reports, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the establishment of a new product advisory committee called the "Meta Advisory Group." The main task of this group is to provide professional guidance on artificial intelligence and technological advancements for Meta.
It is reported that this committee is composed of four well-known executives: Patrick Collison, CEO and co-founder of Stripe; Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify; former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman; and former Microsoft executive and investor Charlie Songhurst. It is worth noting that these members will not receive any compensation from Meta. Collison and Lütke are the newly added members to the committee.
In an internal memo, Zuckerberg expressed his great respect for these leaders and thanked them for their support and insights during important moments of Meta's exploration in areas such as artificial intelligence and the metaverse. Unlike the company's board of directors, members of the "Meta Advisory Group" are not elected by shareholders and do not bear financial responsibilities for the company. The main task of this group is to provide advice on technological advancements, innovation, and strategic growth opportunities.
Although Meta has not disclosed the specific meeting frequency of the product advisory committee, Zuckerberg emphasized that the group will regularly provide advice to Meta's management team to help the company maintain a leading position at the forefront of technology.
On a global scale, Meta faces competition from companies such as Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and emerging companies like Anthropic. Meta is accelerating the development of its AI products, including the Quest virtual reality headset, Ray-Ban smart glasses, and hardware and software products such as AI assistants provided through its applications.
During last month's earnings call, Zuckerberg revealed that the company plans to increase its capital expenditures this year to further drive the development of AI technology. He also stated that Meta has demonstrated the ability to establish industry-leading models and is poised to become a global leader in AI, opening up more new opportunities for the company. Zuckerberg also urged investors to be patient, noting that many AI projects may not generate financial returns immediately.
