Zuckerberg announces ambitious AI projects to unlock the Metaverse
By MYBRANDBOOK
Describing AI as "the key to unlocking the Metaverse", Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced several ambitious artificial-intelligence projects.
During a live streamed demonstration, he created a basic virtual world - including an island, trees and a beach - using the AI feature Builder Bot.
Zuckerberg also announced a plan to build a universal speech translator. "The ability to communicate with anyone in any language is a superpower that was dreamt of forever," he said.
Builder Bot was part of Meta's CAIRaoke project to improve AI assistants and allow "AI to see the world from our experience" as people entered virtual reality via headsets or glasses, Zuckerberg said.
Promising privacy-preserving and responsible AI, Zuckerberg said that the AI systems driving Meta's virtual worlds would preserve privacy and be transparent and responsible.
Facebook has been investing in AI for the past 10 years. In January the company announced that it had built a new AI supercomputer that it aims to be the fastest in the world when completed in mid-2022.
Facebook changed its corporate name to Meta in October. At the time, Zuckerberg talked of a wide-ranging Metaverse - accessible via VR headsets, such as the Meta Quest, formerly Oculus -where people could work, play and chat. Meta plans to hire 10,000 people in Europe to help build it.
