Meta dissolves Responsible AI Team
Meta has announced that its Responsible AI team members are being integrated into various company divisions to "enhance collaboration and proximity to core product development." According to Meta, this decision is intended to bolster efforts in preventing potential harms associated with AI.
The redistribution aims to position team members directly within generative AI projects and AI infrastructure roles, facilitating a closer relationship between the staff and the heart of product and technology development within the company.
Meta emphasizes that this move aligns with its commitment to prioritizing the safe and responsible development of AI and is intended to enhance scalability to meet future needs.
This initiative comes alongside the roll-out of Meta's generative AI tools, which include content generation capabilities for advertisers, contributing to its portfolio of AI products like the language model Llama 2 and a Meta AI chatbot.
The companies efforts to date can be summarized as follows:
Meta AI Personal Assistant
In beta, this AI assistant is available for one-on-one chats or group conversations on platforms like Instagram, Messenger, or WhatsApp. It's designed to perform tasks ranging from making recommendations to settling debates.
Creative Tools
Meta's generative AI also includes a suite of creative tools that allow users to turn their ideas into reality, fostering new forms of expression.
Responsible AI Development
Meta emphasizes building and testing AI systems for safer and more responsible use. They have developed custom AI models like Llama 2, which incorporate safety and responsibility training.
