Meta is reportedly creating an artificial intelligence replica of its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, designed to interact directly with employees. The news was discussed on the YouTube channel Hard Fork, where co-hosts Kevin Roose and Casey Newton explored how they would engage with such an AI boss if they worked at Meta.
According to reports, the AI version of Zuckerberg will be used for internal communications, potentially handling employee questions, feedback, or even performance reviews. The concept raises questions about workplace dynamics, authenticity, and the role of AI in corporate leadership. Roose and Newton offered a mix of humor and skepticism about the idea, noting that employees might find it surreal to receive directives from a digital avatar of their real-life boss.
