Meta Platforms is developing an artificial intelligence version of its chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, designed to interact directly with employees, in a move that highlights the company’s expanding push into AI-driven workplace tools.
The system is being built as a photorealistic, AI-powered avatar trained on Zuckerberg’s voice, tone, and communication style. The aim is to enable staff to engage with a digital version of the CEO for internal updates, guidance, and company-wide communication.
People familiar with the project say the AI avatar is designed to hold real-time conversations with employees, effectively acting as a scalable extension of leadership across the organisation.
The initiative is expected to improve internal accessibility, allowing more employees to interact with leadership without traditional corporate bottlenecks. Reports indicate the tool could help staff feel more directly connected to the CEO despite Meta’s global workforce.
Zuckerberg is said to be personally involved in the development process, contributing data and insights to train the system to reflect his decision-making style and communication patterns.
The project is part of Meta’s broader investment in artificial intelligence, as the company continues to integrate AI into its products and internal operations. It also reflects a growing trend among tech firms exploring AI personas to enhance productivity and communication.
While the development has generated interest, it has also raised concerns about authenticity, workplace culture, and the implications of AI-generated executive representation.
If successful, Meta could expand the concept beyond internal use, potentially enabling other executives and public figures to deploy AI versions of themselves for large-scale communication.
