How Facebook Is Using Artificial Intelligence

Every day, nearly 2.5 billion people log in to one of the Facebook family of services, which include Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And as users scroll, message, like, and click, Facebook continues to scoop up data, which they package up for advertisers. Behind the scenes, artificial intelligence allows Facebook to make sense of all the messy data it collects about our likes, dislikes, aspirations, and relationships. Facebook's billions of users and vast vault of data make it the perfect sandbox for the company's developers and engineers to experiment, solve problems, and push the boundaries of what AI can do. Here are a few of the ways Facebook is using artificial intelligence to evolve and continue to meet the needs of its ever-expanding user base.
