Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, interview answer 28 September 2023 Transcript for Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse (Lex Fridman Podcast)

Promise Their own work or organisation

Meta is building a platform called AI Studio that will, over time, let anyone create AI characters like other user-generated content.

Delivered on time The record shows it happened or was so.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

'Over time' is judged as of the end of 2024. The test is whether Meta built and launched a platform called AI Studio that lets ordinary users create their own AI characters on Meta's apps. True: AI Studio was publicly launched by the end of 2024 and general users could create custom AIs, at least in one major market such as the US. Mostly true: it launched and was open to general users, but in very limited regions or with minor restrictions. Mostly false: AI Studio existed only for invited creators, businesses or developers, or it opened to the general public only after 2024. False: AI Studio was not launched, or it was cancelled.

    “The initiative, first announced by Meta in 2024, is now broadly available in the U.S., with a simple path to design, brand, and deploy AIs across Meta’s surfaces.”

Reasoning

Meta's 29 July 2024 announcement says anyone can create AI characters with AI Studio, on the web or in the Instagram app, and that it was rolling out in the US (E1, E2). An independent tech outlet reported the next day that the platform was rolling out to US customers first through the web and Instagram (E3). A 2025 source describes AI Studio, first announced in 2024, as broadly available in the US (E4). Together these show AI Studio launched for general users in the US before the end of 2024, which meets the "true" criterion.
