Artificial Intelligence (AI) is Facebook's bet to know (even) more about the users of its various platforms. The Verge reports that Mark Zuckerberg's company is studying and developing intelligent systems that can see, hear, and remember everything that Internet users do.

The same publication cited by the "marketeer" portal, also indicates that these systems can be used in Facebook's Augmented Reality glasses - which, for now, are only capable of recording and sharing images. The idea would be to help users of these devices in everyday tasks, but not only: it would also be possible to answer questions like "Where did I leave my keys?".

The new AI systems will also be useful in clarifying some discussions, as they will be able to confirm who said what and when, for example. At the moment, no AI system available on the market allows something like this.

A spokesperson for Facebook stresses, however, that this is a research project and not a commercial initiative. However, Kristen Grauman does not deny that "there are possibilities for the future that could benefit from this type of research."

The research project in question is called "Ego4D", as it looks at the "egocentric" side of the person. It is based on two fundamental pillars: an open database of "egocentric" video (developed through partnerships with 13 universities around the world) and a set of patterns/tasks that the systems should be able to solve (predictions, episodic memory, among others).
