As per Yuan (via a Gadgets360 report), the innovative solution aims to empower users to delegate mundane tasks to AI-driven virtual assistants, thus creating more time for face-to-face interactions and potentially facilitating a more adaptable work schedule.
Furthermore, the CEO underscored the company’s substantial investment in AI research, particularly in advancing language models. Through the integration of these models into Zoom’s platform, users can generate personalized digital avatars capable of representing them in meetings, managing routine duties, and enabling individuals to concentrate on more crucial work aspects.
Reportedly, Yuan envisions a future where AI avatars are an essential component of Zoom’s Workplace platform, assisting users in achieving a better work-life equilibrium. “We’re striving towards a future where everyone possesses their personalized AI assistant,” he elaborated. “Imagine sending your digital counterpart to a meeting instead of attending it yourself – that’s the trajectory we’re pursuing.”
The CEO also stressed the significance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in enhancing the effectiveness of AI avatars. By adjusting parameters, these digital assistants can acquire specific skills and adapt to various scenarios, surpassing their human counterparts. For instance, Yuan mentioned his ability to train his AI avatar for proficiency in sales negotiations, thereby allowing him to focus on other areas. While the technology is still in development, Yuan expressed confidence in the combined potential of AI and Augmented Reality (AR) to realize this vision. As Zoom continues its pursuit of innovation, it is evident that the company is positioned to redefine remote work and communication paradigms.
