NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 16: WIRED senior staff writer Cade Metz (L) and Director of Facebook AI Research Yann LeCun speak on stage during the 2016 Wired Business Conference on June 16, 2016 in New York City. Facebook is opening two more artificial intelligence (AI) labs in the United States, according to a report from The New York Times on Friday. The labs will be in Seattle (home to Amazon's headquarters) and Pittsburgh. Facebook reportedly took the decision to open the labs after hiring three AI/robotics professors from the University of Washington and Carnegie Mellon University. Mike Schroepfer, Facebook's chief technology officer, said the three new hires will be tasked with recruiting more staff and training them too.
