“We expect these AIs to actually, over time, exist on our platforms, kind of in the same way that accounts do,” said Connor Hayes, vice-president of product for generative AI at Meta. “They’ll have bios and profile pictures and be able to generate and share content powered by AI on the platform . . . that’s where we see all of this going,” he added. Hayes said a “priority” for Meta over the next two years was to make its apps “more entertaining and engaging”, which included considering how to make the interaction with AI more social.

Do tech startups in Europe have a long term advantage because they are taking regulation into account from day one?

(From an article on the vibrant AI startup scene in France)

Maybe Internet and AI startups will start to look like pharma and other health startups
