His new great bet are advanced humanoid robots, according to Bloomberg

After getting rid of 5% of its workforce at the beginning of the yearMeta has created a team destined to develop its next great ambition: humanoid robots driven by artificial intelligence (AI). The news comes from Bloombergwhich states that the company led by Mark Zuckerberg will make a “significant investment” this new project. The sources point out that androids will be able to interact with users and will help them perform daily tasks.
