Facebook wants to build an artificial intelligence that learns to understand the world like humans—by watching our every move.
The tech giant has announced plans to teach AI to ‘understand and interact with the world like we do’ in first person. It hopes to do this by using video and audio from augmented reality (AR) glasses like its new high-tech Ray-Bans.
“AI typically learns from photos and videos captured in third-person, but next-generation AI will need to learn from videos that show the world from the center of action,” the company said.
It went on: “AI that understands the world from this point of view could unlock a new era of immersive experiences.”
For the Ego4D project, Facebook gathered 2,200 hours of first-person video from 700 people going about their daily lives in order to begin training its AI assistants. It says it wants to teach AI to:
- remember things, so we can ask it ‘what happened when’
- predict human actions and try to anticipate our needs
- manipulate hands and objects in order to learn new skills
- keep a video ‘diary’ of everyday life and recall specific moments
- learn and understand social interaction
These tasks can’t be performed by any AI system right now, but could play a central role in Facebook’s plans to build the ‘metaverse’; a digital 3D overlay of reality using VR and AR.
It has already began work on this with its Oculus VR headsets, as well as the release of the new Facebook x Ray-Ban smart glasses.
AI is able to learn to see and hear using vast amounts of real-world data, and it seems Facebook want to use its devices to gather this data in order to build more intelligent systems in the future.
However, the launch of AR glasses such as Facebook’s Ray-Bans has prompted privacy concerns, as the glasses would allow people to film others secretly without their knowledge.

If any thinking American believes this shit they are badly mistaken. the Facebook owner and staff are definitely working AGAINST the well-being of this country’s freedom, constitution and bill of rights.
1000% CORRECT!
Does anybody trust Facebook to teach their kids anymore values I don’t
Does anybody believe Facebook can teach their kids moral values I don’t
Only immoral people could believe such things. The entire culture at FB is completely absent any morals. Disgusting, immoral, reprehensible, deplorable company. Needs to be put out of business. They only exist to spy on people and turn that information over to government agencies. Everything else they offer is a distraction from their true mission purpose. AWFUL COMPANY.
Facebook needs to be out of work just like a lot of the rest of us.
yes, FB NEEDS TO BE PERMANENTLY OUT OF WORK, AS IN OUT OF BUSINESS!
Friends may come and friends may go and friends my peter out you know. Facebook is no friend without a doubt peter in or peter out.
This really answered my problem, thanks!
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
FACECRACK WILL NEVER BE HUMAN, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE A FACE.
ITS OWNERS JUST WANT TO SPY ON THE WHOLE WORLD AND GET PAID FROM GOVERNMENTS TO DO SO.
IT IS A DISGUSTING EXERCISE IN OBLITERATING PRIVACY.
THE COMPANY SHOULD BE DISSOLVED .
