Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s AI clone: Meta is training an artificial version of its creator<\/h2>\n

Meta is training an AI clone of Mark Zuckerberg using his voice, image, and public statements. The goal is for the company\u2019s nearly 79,000 employees to be able to consult the \u201cvirtual Zuckerberg\u201d when they don\u2019t have access to the real one. According to the Financial Times, the CEO himself is actively participating in training his artificial version.<\/p>\n

Context<\/h2>\n

Meta has been experimenting with digital avatars for years. In 2022, Mark Zuckerberg introduced his avatar in the Metaverse \u2014 which was heavily criticized for its graphic quality \u2014 and since then the company has been developing AI-generated 3D characters capable of holding real conversations. Now the project has taken a leap forward, with the focus on building a replica based on the CEO himself.<\/p>\n

Future<\/h2>\n

Meta believes the experiment could be replicated with influencers and content creators. If this scales, it could change how people and brands communicate with their followers online. Not only that, it could also make it possible to virtually clone anyone to obtain their \u201copinion\u201d based on prior training.<\/p>\n

In the style of Anthropic<\/h2>\n

OpenAI launches a cybersecurity-focused model that it will share only with selected organizations. Just days ago, Anthropic announced it had created Mythos, a cybersecurity-focused AI to which it granted access only to 40 organizations it considered \u201cgood actors,\u201d such as Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and the Linux Foundation. A week later, OpenAI announced it would do something very similar with GPT-5.4-Cyber, initially distributing it to hundreds of partners in its Trusted Access for Cyber program, with plans to expand to thousands in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Lagging behind<\/h2>\n

This is not the first time OpenAI has appeared to respond to Anthropic\u2019s moves rather than set them. The company that led the public conversation around AI for years now seems increasingly reactive compared to the firm founded by its former employees.<\/p>\n

The restriction<\/h2>\n

The reason both Anthropic and OpenAI have limited access to a select group of companies is that they claim these models are so powerful they can uncover vulnerabilities in systems that had never been discovered before, potentially putting networks at risk.<\/p>\n

Recommended app: Kinnu<\/h2>\n

We are one of those people who try \u2014 sometimes successfully, sometimes not \u2014 to stay away from social media. To do that, we looked for alternatives, and one of the most effective has been Kinnu, a learning app that lets you explore topics of interest through daily lessons designed to be quick and easy to consume.<\/p>\n

All kinds of topics<\/h2>\n

The platform positions itself as a kind of \u201cbest friend for your brain,\u201d using learning techniques based on cognitive science to help improve information retention.

How it works<\/h2>\n

Once inside the app, you choose a subtopic to begin a learning path made up of short lessons. The system is gamified with streaks, daily challenges, smart sessions, and constant interaction, encouraging you to keep learning. Although there is a paid version, all the app\u2019s main features are free.<\/p>\n
