圖／本報AI製圖（示意圖） 商傳媒｜責任編輯／綜合外電報導 社群媒體巨擘 Meta 正著手開發執行長馬克·祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg）的人工智慧（AI）版本，預計讓公司全球近 79,000 名員工能與這個虛擬分身互動。此舉的目的是透過人工智慧技術，模糊人類領導與機器智慧之間的界線，並強化企業內部溝通。 這個 AI 驅動的「數位分身」正接受密集訓練，以模仿祖克柏的語調、舉止及策略思維。未來員工將能向其提問，並獲得反映執行長觀點的回應。據報導，祖克柏本人也積極參與此系統的訓練，提供其語音與肖像資料，確保 AI 分身的真實性與準確性。 此計畫是 Meta 更廣泛將 AI 深度整合至營運的策略一環。該公司已從早期推動元宇宙時的數位替身，轉向開發更實用、能進行自然即時對話的 AI 驅動虛擬角色。Meta 相信，類似技術最終可能被網紅及內容創作者採用，拓展其應用範圍。 這項創新背後，Meta 期望藉由 AI 提高生產力、簡化營運，並促進員工與高層之間的連結。Synthesia 的一位發言人指出，逼真的 AI 影像與語音能顯著提升員工的參與度與資訊記憶點，而資訊若由熟悉的臉孔或聲音傳達，更能提高工作效率與溝通成效。 除了員工互動分身，Meta 也為祖克柏本人開發專屬的「執行長代理人」（CEO agent），協助他快速存取公司數據並準備會議。祖克柏曾於今年一月表示，Meta 將提升個人貢獻者地位並扁平化團隊，這也反映了公司正朝精簡組織結構邁進，讓 AI 工具直接賦予員工能力。 在矽谷日益激烈的 AI 競賽中，Meta 正投入數十億美元於先進 AI 系統，以維持競爭力。祖克柏甚至公開追求「超級智慧」，期望 AI 系統能在幾乎所有認知任務上超越人類。然而，Meta 同時也面臨各界對平台安全與用戶福祉的日益嚴格審查與監管壓力。此 AI 祖克柏分身的發展，凸顯主要科技公司正加速將 AI 整合至企業領導與溝通模式中。
