On 25th of February in Berlin, Facebook launched the Facebook All Research Partnership Program -- a new effort to support artificial intelligence research at universities using state of the art computing hardware, software and expertise provided by Facebook.
AI is one of the technologies that Mr. Zuckerberg was most excited about. Building machines that can learn the way humans do will let us create new tools to dramatically enhance humanity�s potential. AI will save lives by diagnosing diseases, making cars safer, and unlocking new insights about our planet and universe.
Facebook's first collaboration through the FAIR Partnership Program is with Professor Klaus-Robert M�ller at TU Berlin. His laboratory is using AI to analyse medical scans to extend our understanding of breast cancer. Facebook is going to provide 32 GPUs in four state of the art servers to TU Berlin that will allow this research to go faster. In total Facebook plan to provide 200 GPUs to research institutions across the EU.
All of the research carried out through FAIR is shared openly with the rest of the global scientific community, so the data and insights Facebook uncover through this partnership will move the entire AI field forward. Facebook is excited to invest in pioneering German and European research that can improve all our lives. Here�s a photo of Mr. Mark Zuckerberg with Mr. Yann LeCun, who leads Facebook AI Research, at Facebook's announcement day.
