Social media conglomerate Meta has announced a new research project to build a “universal speech translator” powered by artificial intelligence. Such a translation tool could be hugely beneficial and would help propel Meta’s platforms like Facebook and Instagram around the world.
Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has announced an ambitious new AI research project to create translation software that works for “everyone in the world.” The project was announced as part of an event focusing on the broad range of benefits Meta believes AI can offer the company’s metaverse plans.
The blog post notes that universal translation software would be a killer app for future wearable devices like AR glasses and would also break down boundaries in “immersive” VR and AR reality spaces . In other words, though developing universal translation tools may have humanitarian benefits, it also makes good business sense for a company like Meta.
