Facebook is planning to create its own chips for a better artificial intelligence

When Facebook recently ill with something to cope with is two things: maintaining the integrity of users' personal data and the development of class hardware from Facebook. But now, judging by the recent opening of the vacancy in the company, Facebook will seriously manufacturing technology. According to Bloomberg, Facebook is looking for the control of ASIC development. ASIC - is Application Specific Integrated Circuit, ASIC, and that it deals with: machining is the chip that performs a specific task. Popularity ASIC-tech has grown to boom cryptocurrency background: ASIC-miners are used for mining Bitcoins in larger quantities than could allow processors or graphics cards. Just because ASIC-equipment capable of performing one task very well.

Bloomberg notes that in the case of Facebook so the job can mean anything from future Oculus headsets to processors needed for future Facebook servers. But more importantly, it is not only a new vacancy for the new program design chips. Jobs Post chapter on the development of artificial intelligence to Facebook. This means that Facebook plans to seriously address the chips that will create the best AI. This kind of chips can be found in smart columns that need AI to understand your words, or servers that handle images of persons. Apple, Qualcomm and Huawei produce processors for phones, intently trying to improve the handling of AI forces. Google and Intel is also actively exploring this area, and NVIDIA invest billions in it, to become a leader in this new field of chip production. Facebook could well tap into that tusovochke.

Zuckerberg's company has long been exploring the possibilities of artificial intelligence and trying to implement it in their social network. For example, Facebook AI struggles with the so-called hate speech (or simply insults and trolling in social networks), and also trying to understand what ads will suit you best. What is disturbing is the inability to Facebook to keep personal data under lock and key. New opportunities will lead to new risks.
