Mark Zuckerberg-owned Meta Platforms (META) has been making waves lately, thanks in part to the launch of Threads - a text-based version of Meta’s photo-sharing app Instagram. However, after onboarding tens of millions of users initially, growth has tapered off.
Of course, the Facebook parent company has expanded well beyond social media in recent years, as highlighted at the conclusion of its annual Meta Connect developers conference. While unveiling its newest virtual reality (VR) headset - the Meta Quest 3 - and announcing a set of smart glasses in collaboration with Ray-Ban, Meta's reveal in the artificial intelligence (AI) space grabbed particular attention. The company unveiled its own AI assistant, Jarvis, along with a number of AI characters based on celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, and Mr. Beast, among others.
