At WSJ’s Tech Live conference, Meta Platforms Chief Product Officer Chris Cox explains how deepfakes influenced the development of Meta’s AI assistant products. Photo: Nikki Ritcher for The Wall Street JournalFacebook parent Meta Platforms reported its largest quarterly revenue since going public more than a decade ago as demand for advertising picked up and the company continued to reap the benefits of cutting costs and developing new AI technology. Meta’s sales increased to $34.1 billion, up more than 23% compared with a year ago. That represents Meta’s third quarter in a row of rising revenue after the company saw its business shrink for most of 2022. The 23% increase is Meta’s largest year-to-year growth in revenue since the third quarter of 2021.

Perhaps no company is in a better position to talk about the potential benefits and risks of this so-called AGI than OpenAI (49%-owned by Microsoft ), the creators of the popular chatbot ChatGPT. At The Wall Street Journal’s annual Tech Live conference last week, the Journal’s senior personal-technology columnist Joanna Stern spoke with OpenAI’s Chief Executive Sam Altman and Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati . Edited excerpts of their conversation follow.
