Facebook owner Meta announces tests of generative AI ads tool

[ad_1] Social media giant Meta Platforms Inc joined the generative AI product race on Thursday, saying it would begin testing artificial intelligence-powered ad tools that can create content like image backgrounds and variations of written text.A select group of advertisers will be invited to experiment with the tools in a "testing playground" that the company is calling the AI Sandbox, Meta executives said at a press event in New York. The executives declined to specify how many advertisers would have access to the space at the outset, saying only that the group was small. Meta planned to grant access to more advertisers in July and integrate some of the features into general-purpose ad products later in the year, they said.The announcement marks the Facebook and Instagram owner's firs...

Meta’s Rally Doesn’t Need a Hand From TikTok Ban

Meta will keep releasing AI tools despite leak claims

[ad_1] Meta Platforms Inc on Monday said it will continue to release its artificial intelligence tools to approved researchers despite claims on online message boards that its latest large language model had leaked to unauthorized users."While the model is not accessible to all, and some have tried to circumvent the approval process, we believe the current release strategy allows us to balance responsibility and openness," Meta said in a statement. Facebook owner Meta maintains a major AI research arm and last month released LLaMA, short for Large Language Model Meta AI. Meta claimed that the model can achieve the kind of human-like conversational abilities of AI systems designed by ChatGPT creator OpenAI and Alphabet Inc while using far less computing power. Unlike some rivals such as...

In just the past week, AI researchers from Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google have taken an extraordinary leap forward, developing systems that can generate videos with just about any text prompt one can imagine.The videos from Facebook-parent Meta look like trippy dream sequences, showing a teddy bear painting flowers or a horse with distended legs galloping over a field.
