Meta bets on AI chatbots to retain users

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is reportedly working on advanced AI chatbots with human-like personalities to enhance user retention efforts. The chatbots, referred to as “personas,” will take on the form of different characters, each embodying a distinct personality, such as former US President Abraham Lincoln or a laid-back surfer offering travel advice. These chatbots are expected to engage users in interactive conversations and offer personalized recommendations and improved search functionality while also serving as a source of entertainment.

However, concerns have been raised about potential rule-breaking speech and inaccuracies, given the sophisticated AI capabilities. In response, Meta may implement automated checks on the chatbots’ outputs to ensure accuracy and compliance with platform rules.

This move comes as Meta focuses on user retention efforts, as highlighted in the recent second-quarter earnings call, where CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed satisfaction with the response to the platform Threads, which competes with X (formerly Twitter).

While the chatbots venture could revolutionize user experiences and increase user engagement, it also raises concerns about data privacy and security, as Meta will have access to a significant amount of user data. This issue has been a subject of legal challenges for other AI companies like OpenAI.

As the release of these chatbots approaches, users and experts will be closely monitoring Meta’s actions and their potential impact on user retention and data privacy.
