Facebook's AI image search can 'see' what's in photos

If you forget to tag or add a description when uploading a photo or gallery to Facebook, it can be tough to find an image when you need it. Or at least it used to be. The social network revealed today that it built an AI image search system that can "see" things in your photos even when you forget to add the aforementioned identifiers. Facebook says the system uses its Lumos platform to understand the content of photos and videos and quickly sort through the items you've uploaded. This means that if even if you can't remember when a photo was taken, if you remember the content, you might still be able to find it with ease.
