Facebook plans to develop special AI

Facebook is developing a new artificial intelligence (AI)-based system that can analyse your lives using first-person videos — recording what they see, do and hear in order to help you with daily tasks.

Imagine your AR device displaying exactly how to hold the sticks during a drum lesson, guiding you through a recipe, helping you find your lost keys, or recalling memories as holograms that come to life in front of you. To realise this new AI potential, Facebook AI has announced ‘Ego4D’ — a long-term project aimed at solving research challenges in ‘egocentric perception’ (the perception of direction or position of oneself based on visual information).

We brought together a consortium of 13 universities and labs across nine countries, who collected more than 2,200 hours of first-person video in the wild, featuring over 700 participants going about their daily lives, the social network said in a statement.
