■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 5 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Meta is training an AI avatar of Mark Zuckerberg using his voice, image, and mannerisms to interact with employees. The CEO is personally overseeing the project's development and testing.

Meta's experiment involves creating a digital version of Zuckerberg designed to engage with staff and provide feedback. The AI model is being trained on the CEO's public statements, tone, and behavioral patterns to replicate his communication style. According to the Financial Times, Meta hopes the avatar will help employees feel more connected to the founder through direct interactions. The company is considering this as a potential template for a broader creator tool that would allow other individuals to generate AI versions of themselves. Zuckerberg's hands-on involvement in training and testing the AI suggests Meta views this as a significant internal initiative. The project reflects Meta's broader investment in AI development and its exploration of how artificial avatars could function in workplace environments. No timeline has been announced for broader rollout or public availability of creator AI avatars.
