Meta's Major Shift: Nvidia GPUs, AI, and Metaverse Expansion Amid Job Loss Concerns
January 18, 2024
Meta, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is shifting towards developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) and improving the metaverse.
The company has acquired a significant number of Nvidia H100 GPUs to support these developments.
Meta sees AI and the metaverse as interconnected, with smart glasses as the main interface.
The company has launched AI products, including a commercial version of their generative AI text model and ad tools through Ray-Ban smart glasses.
Despite Meta's commitment to making AI accessible, concerns about job losses and misuse of AI persist.
OpenAI also plans to build general AI, but will address issues as they arise.
Meta has restructured its AI research team, FAIR, to better align with the company's long-term goals, primarily through the Llama project.
