Researchers will have access to components of a new ‘human-like’ artificial intelligence model that Meta Platforms (META.O) claims can interpret and complete incomplete photos more accurately than current models.
I-JEPA is a generative AI model that, fills in missing portions of images using information about the world as a whole. This is contrary to other generative AI models that look into pixels to recreate.
According to Meta, this method integrates the thinking that prominent AI researcher Yann LeCun has argued is more like that of humans and helps the technology avoid mistakes that are typical of AI-generated graphics, like hands with additional digits.
Through its internal research lab, Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, publishes many open-sourced AI research. According to Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, sharing models created by Meta’s researchers can benefit the business by fostering innovation, identifying safety flaws, and reducing expenses.
Additionally, Meta is adding generative AI capabilities to its consumer goods, such as Instagram products that can edit user photographs based on text input and advertising tools.
