The CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, introduced artificial intelligence projects crucial for constructing the metaverse. He is perhaps one of the biggest influencers and believers of the futuristic virtual world, where users can interact, work, and basically do everything online.
Meta’s AI labs progressed in research and development for the next era of computing and unveiled projects that are a part of the metaverse.
Meta introduced ‘BuilderBot’ – “a new tool to fuel creativity in the metaverse using voice commands.” Another development is ‘No Language Left Behind’ – a system that translates all written languages. The tech giant is also working on a ‘Universal Speech Translator’ that would instantly provide speech-to-speech translations for all languages. Project ‘CAIRaoke’ is the next conversational AI improvement for more fluid conversations between people and chatbots or virtual assistants.
“As we advance this technology further, you'll be able to create nuanced worlds to explore and share experiences with others, with just your voice,”
Zuckerberg said.
Meta is further developing tools to make AI systems more explicable. ‘System Cards’ is the newest resource that explains how AI works. For instance, it helps to understand how Instagram ranking operates.
Meta’s Artificial Intelligence Learning Alliance (AILA) aims to “strengthen diversity and increase equity in the field of artificial intelligence” and make learning available to everyone through Blueprint.
The company also introduced ‘TorchRec,’ a library for recommendation systems that personalizes products (such as Facebook news feed).
