Meta AI bot used a billion times monthly: Mark Zuckerberg
Use of Meta AI is growing the fastest on WhatsApp, the company says, as it competes against Google, Microsoft and OpenAI
Zuckerberg noted the milestone anew at Meta’s annual gathering of shareholders and as the social media behemoth vies with Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and others to be a leader in GenAI.
It was not clear how much Meta AI use involved people seeking out the chatbot versus passive users of Meta AI, as it is built into features in its family of apps.
Since Google debuted AI Overviews in search results a year ago, it has grown to more than 1.5 billion users, according to Google chief executive Sundar Pichai.
“That means Google Search is bringing GenAI to more people than any other product in the world,” Pichai said.
Google’s AI Overviews are automatically provided summaries of search results that appear instead of the previous practice of simply showing pages of blue links to relevant websites.
