Meta is reportedly building a photorealistic, AI-powered 3D version of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, designed to hold real conversations with employees on his behalf. The project is led by Meta's Superintelligence Labs, which is using Zuckerberg personally training and testing the system. The goal is to make employees feel more connected to the founder through an AI that talks like him, thinks like him and never cancels a meeting. The company's projected capital expenditure for 2026 is between $115 billion and $135 billion, nearly double the previous year's figure.
