Facebook today announced a major breakthrough: Facebook's AI, named SEER (SElf-supERvised AI), was able to correctly identify and categorize objects in photos without the aid of humans with a high degree of accuracy.
Facebook has been using AI to audibly describe the contents of photos for the visually impaired for some time, but it's improving those efforts this year. The latest version of the model promises to provide much more information than before.
Facebook celebrated its 12th birthday back in 2016 by creating automatically-generated "Friends Day" videos for users showing up to 16 photos of themselves and their friends. But not all users got heartwarming videos -- some were hilariously bad.
