Awkwafina, Keegan Michael Key or Kristen Bell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The technology giant&#8217;s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, made the announcements during the company&#8217;s annual Connect conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">At the event, Mr Zuckerberg also unveiled the first working prototype of Meta&#8217;s augmented-reality

with AI than text.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Other new offerings for the ChatGPT-like chatbot include it being able to recognise things users photograph and giving them information about them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">An image editing feature will allow users to alter photos just by telling the Meta AI what changes they want.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The firm said that more than 400 million people were now using Meta AI a month, with 185 million of them returning to it every week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"image-block\" class=\"ssrcss-1b5y2ub-ComponentWrapper-FullWidthWrapper ey0461q0\">\n<figure class=\"ssrcss-1vfya96-StyledFigure e34k3c22\">\n<div
