Got Facebook privacy worries? Pah! Intrigued by Facebook Messaging? Phooey! The real thing you should be worrying about is Facebook artificial intelligence. At least that’s the conclusion you could come to listening to the theories espoused by major Facebook investor Yuri Milner. He’s got some very big ideas for the future of Facebook…


Milner thinks Facebook could change the way we store and treat information so much that it could become the basis for artificial intelligence. He predicts that Facebook AI could be with us within the next 10 years. The theory is that future AI creators could use Facebook data to create personalities that are obsessed with Corrie, I’m A Celebrity and having a pint on a Friday night as the rest of us.

This all leads us to the inevitable question. If Facebook artificial intelligence is on the way, is Mark Zuckerberg building Skynet?!
