[1] FAIR was first directed by New York University's Yann LeCun, a deep learning professor and Turing Award winner.

[3] Research at FAIR pioneered the technology that led to face recognition, tagging in photographs, and personalized feed recommendation.

In 2018, Jérôme Pesenti, former CTO of IBM's big data group, assumed the role of president of FAIR, while LeCun stepped down to serve as chief AI scientist.

[14] Also in 2017, FAIR discontinued a research project once AI bots developed a language that was unintelligible to humans,[15] inciting conversations about dystopian fear of artificial intelligence going out of control.

[20][21] Meta AI seeks to improve natural-language interfaces by developing aspects of chitchat dialogue such as repetition, specificity, response-relatedness and question-asking,[22] incorporating personality into image captioning,[23] and generating creativity-based language.

[citation needed] Until 2022, Meta AI mainly used CPU and in-house custom chip as hardware, before finally switching to Nvidia GPU.

This necessitated a complete redesign of several data centers, since they needed 24 to 32 times the networking capacity and new liquid cooling systems.

Now, people will have access to Meta AI in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Bolivia, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Ghana, Guatemala, Indonesia, Jamaica, Malawi, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, United Kingdom, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
