Facebook Is Already Using Its Artificial Intelligence On You

Facebook You probably don't realize it, but if you use Facebook, you're working with artificial intelligence every day. "So much of what you do on Facebook -- you open up your app, you open up your News Feed, and there are thousands of things that are going on in your world, and we need to figure out what's interesting," Zuckerberg said. The two characterized Facebook's current AI capabilities as basic pattern recognition, or "supervised learning." While Facebook's algorithm might seem a bit inconsequential compared to a cancer-detecting robot, Zuckerberg said his company is in a key position to further AI research in general. "You have a lot of the smartest people in academic environments, but a lot of the infrastructure is in corporate environments," Zuckerberg said, explaining that he wants to leverage the resources at Facebook to create more advanced AI.
