Meta changes name to GAI, bets big on Generative AI

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 17, 2023 — Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, today announced a monumental shift in the company's strategy and a new identity to reflect this change. The company will now be known as GAI, an acronym for Generative AI, signalling its renewed commitment to the development and advancement of Generative AI technologies.

In the face of an ever-changing technological landscape, GAI is determined to be at the forefront of the AI revolution. This new focus aligns with the company's vision of creating a future where artificial intelligence can be universally used to solve complex problems, enhance human potential, and create a more interconnected world.

"GAI represents the next frontier of our digital world. Our new name signifies our commitment to leading the charge in the development of Generative artificial intelligence," said Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and Founder of GAI. "We see a future where AI has the potential to fundamentally transform the way we live, work, and interact with each other, and GAI will be at the helm of that transformation."

The company will maintain its broad product portfolio, including the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and the virtual reality platform Oculus. However, the rebranding to GAI underscores a strategic shift in the company's focus towards the development and integration of advanced AI capabilities across its platforms.

This bold move follows several years of substantial investment in research and development of artificial intelligence technologies, which have already resulted in significant advancements in areas such as content moderation, recommendation algorithms, and virtual reality experiences.

GAI's mission to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together remains at its core, now augmented by the limitless potential of Generative artificial intelligence.
