The next generation AI is well and truly here with ‘Ego4D’, a project initiated by Facebook AI in collaboration with Facebook Reality Labs Research (FRL Research) and other institutes from UK, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the United States. “These videos show the world from the centre of the action, rather than the sidelines,” said lead research scientist, Facebook AI Kristen Grauman. Audio-visual diarization - if you stepped out of a meeting, you could ask the AI what the team lead announced after you left. Social interaction - AI can help you better hear the person in a noisy restaurant. Facebook AI also envisions its applications in a futuristic like scenario – a ‘metaverse’, where physical reality, AR, and VR converge.
