Machines that learn through real world observation could make predictions about the future. That's according to Facebook's head of AI, Yann LeCun, who says that the social network is working on technology to work out possible outcomes of future events. And Facebook is building the technology using computer neural networks that learn like a human brain. The super intelligent AI systems could be used to predict human reactions on the small scale or even the world stage.
