Facebook Italy S.r.l.
Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions of people around the world to connect with each other and share their thoughts. Today, more than 3.2 billion people use one of Meta's apps every day.
Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. Through innovations in artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and the metaverse, they will continue to discover ever more immersive ways to connect, create, explore, and realize new experiences.
The new technologies that Meta is building will enable us to communicate, connect and work without losing touch with the reality around us. Meta Quest 3 mixed reality headset and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses unveiled at Connect 2023 are examples of how people can already experience these technologies today.
Meta has been a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence for more than a decade, having launched more than 1,000 AI models, libraries and datasets, including the latest version of the large-scale language model, Llama 3. Today, Meta is introducing new AI experiences within its platforms and in social interactions between people, representing a step toward the long-term vision of the metaverse.
