A digital twin of Mark Zuckerberg to lead Meta: the strange project of the company to improve its productivity

A digital twin of Mark Zuckerberg to lead Meta

It refers to an AI agent, or more precisely, a CEO agent since it is based on Mark Zuckerberg himself. Specifically, this agent is based on two systems. On one hand, it has stored a huge database from the CEO of Meta: emails, messages, notes, strategic documents, reports, etc. On the other hand, this agent is capable of making decisions, analyzing compromises, or even suggesting strategic options. All of this with the tone and decision-making logic of Zuckerberg.

This CEO agent allows him to assist in his functions, while multiplying him. An employee has a question to ask him, but the leader of Meta doesn't have time to dedicate to him? His digital clone can handle it. In the end, it would therefore be a matter of increased efficiency and productivity.Above all, the principle of hierarchy is shattered. Thanks to his digital twin, goodbye to information transfers through the different hierarchical layers. The CEO of Meta can be everywhere, at all levels of the company.

Currently, this digital twin of Mark Zuckerberg is in the development and testing phase. One assumes that a strict framework will be imposed on this AI so that it does not make decisions that could jeopardize the company's operations.

AI agents for all employees 

In parallel to this CEO agent, Mark Zuckerberg wants each of the 80,000 employees at Meta to have his own AI agent. As a result, an employee can query their AI agent, and it will instantly retrieve the information from the company's databases and logs. 

The company, which previously bet heavily on the metaverse before reversing course, now plans to fully invest in AI, both through new tools and within its work methods. And this shift is certainly not unique to Meta. The CIA has notably announced the integration within its services of AI agents capable of conducting investigations. 

To recall, Meta acquired Manus, a Chinese startup specialized in agent-based AI, last December. Moreover, the company of Mark Zuckerberg is planning to lay off 15,800 employees, which is 20% of its workforce, as part of a strategic restructuring.
