Meta Platforms, led by Mark Zuckerberg, has commenced the deployment of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools aimed at advertisers on its platform.
This development, disclosed on Wednesday, reveals that Meta’s AI tools can autonomously produce content, including image backgrounds and various text variations, for all advertisers, according to Reuters.
In May, Meta initiated a testing phase, offering select advertisers access to these tools within a designated “testing playground.”
Meta plans to make these tools accessible through its Ads Manager and expects to fully implement the rollout by the next year.
