The CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, has introduced a number of artificial intelligence projects crucial for constructing the metaverse to the public. He is perhaps one of the biggest advocates for and believers in a futuristic virtual world in which users can interact, work, and basically do everything online.
Meta’s AI labs has progressed its research and development processes to realize the next era of computing, and has unveiled the projects that will be a core part of the metaverse.
Meta introduced ‘BuilderBot‘ “a new tool to fuel creativity in the metaverse using voice commands.” Another tool being developed 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 translation for all languages. Project ‘CAIRaoke‘ represents the next step in conversational AI improvements to facilitate 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 explaining how AI works. For instance, it helps users 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 revealed ‘TorchRec,’ a library for recommendation systems that personalizes products, such as a Facebook news feed.
