The social network will make public a larger part of their research at IA , seeking to exchange information with other developers to find new insights that contribute to improve their own products and services.
Facebook is betting that share a technology help everyone to benefit faster than if keeps to himself.
(Bloomberg) .- Researchers Facebook Inc. have created some nice tools, such as artificial intelligence software that can recognize objects in digital images or a program that allows people create three-dimensional images in a virtual environment. Your next step is to give this technology.
“Research and science, as far as possible, be made public,” said chief technology officer, Michael Schroepfer. Instead of selling the software, publishing “it makes others move faster. It also helps us to validate our work. “
The network shall publish a larger part of their research in IA, seeking to exchange information with other developers to find new insights to help improve their own products and services . This approach is completely opposite to that adopted by Apple Inc. The iPhone maker also works in AI technologies but kept secret much of their activity.
Facebook share basically betting that technology will help everyone to benefit faster than if keeps to himself. Facebook also has many options: does not control a mobile operating system and a telecommunications network, so you need to work with other companies to advance technology
Open technology <. br /> As you did with hardware data center, Facebook will share their findings in order to attract industry to new technologies. That paid off as it helped the company save money with servers in the network that connects 1,490 million users. In the case of artificial intelligence, Facebook’s goal is to encourage other companies to move in a direction that benefits from a strategic point of view, Schroepfer added.
Conversations can be for mutual benefit. Facebook has announced the obstacles it faces in the field of artificial intelligence and semiconductor companies such as Intel Corp. and ARM Holdings Plc consult on how to make new processors that are optimized IA for specific technologies such as neural networks. “They approach us and ask what they need,” Schroepfer said.
Wide applications
Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important technology that opens way into all sorts of fields, from language translation to robotic assistants, the health sciences to financial analysis.
While this technology has existed for decades, only now the computing and software have progressed enough to start realizing some of the lofty goals of the IA.
The open Facebook approach also helps the company to rapidly implement technological products progress, facilitating hiring good engineers, Schroepfer said.
“The promise I made to all the people of IA that entered the company is going to be the best place for the work they do reach one billion people quickly as possible, “he said.
