Was founded 11 years ago, listing three years, Facebook has evolved from a campus photo-sharing community grow into a market value of more than $ 200 billion of the Silicon Valley technology giant. For Zuckerberg, however, performance is the most important of the past 11 years to become a springboard for the next decade. In virtual reality, artificial intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicles and other emerging technologies at a time when market has a lot of ripples, Zuckerberg also aiming for the future of Facebook. Then, together with access to Fast Company, to see how Zuckerberg led Facebook's step by step:
Until 2012, Zuckerberg also set a goal of writing code every day, maybe for some problems on the Facebook site, he will personally rewrite your code to be amended. However, when foreign media in an interview a few days ago, Mr Zuckerberg said: "Facebook is trying to create a world class search product, communication tools, social networks, including artificial intelligence and virtual reality development, UAV, that in this case, I must have missed the way each line of code in the preparation. "
And 2012 compared to GA, Facebook business today and in the future and the market has been significantly expanded. Submitted in February 2012 IPO ahead of Facebook is a company with a social networking site and communication app (Whatsapp) Internet companies, analysts are not even sure they can make profit. After 3 years, Facebook users worldwide reached 1.5 billion people, but also showed a significant growth trend. In addition, the communications software Whatsapp 900 million users, Instagram users, 400 million Messenger users and Groups are the 700 million.
Zuckerberg said that Facebook in original or through mergers and acquisitions of business, to bet on the future of the company in the three main areas of technology. Is an advanced cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence, it could help Facebook better understand user's needs; the second is virtual reality, Zuckerberg has said on many occasions, virtual reality is the next focus of technological development; and the third is the global Internet by means of unmanned. During the course of interviews, Zuckerberg, Facebook executives led the team to the company's development plan for the next decade makes a deep analysis.
In the technology industry, a company to set such a high lofty goal was not surprising, such as Google--from the driverless cars to stealth smart glasses. By contrast, Facebook is more targeted. "You can think of all kinds of plans, but not necessarily all guaranteed, just like planting seeds in order to observe what is which plants can grow. "Zuckerberg said," and how hard it really is not what we say we will be able to do, but need to experiment to find out what we really need to do something, and to study in depth. "He said, in order to complete the vision of people all over the world can access the Internet, and he now has a third of time and energy focused on a third item.
When Facebook from the former campus projects become Silicon Valley start-up company, Zuckerberg is not only run a company, even without experience in the company. As a close friend of Zuckerberg, Facebook Board Member Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape, venture capital people expressed, in the past ten years, Zuckerberg had to learn everything he can and business knowledge, now be a good CEO.
As Zuckerberg is now 31 years old, and also because of his youth T-shirt jeans outfit, he joined Facebook have always been underrated. These look down on Facebook include: leaving Harvard is nothing, it cannot leave the school and survive, it is impossible in the general public promoting, it could not overturn the former social-networking site MySpace, it was unable to generate sufficient profits to sustain market value, its not that Wall Street may satisfied with mobile ... ...
But Zuckerberg and Facebook team's performance has made such comments proved unfounded. 1.55 billion users, one-Nineth is at least a certain period through mobile devices logged in Facebook, and Facebook in 2015, $ 4.3 billion in advertising revenue in the third quarter, more than three-fourths from the mobile terminal.
"Facebook wants to be the World Centre for artificial intelligence"
During the meeting, Facebook developers Fergus unveiled the recognition of faces in video software. The system operates through a PC connected to the camera, but accuracy is still not very high. The product is not that Facebook is ready to introduce artificial intelligence products, but they are developing technology in this field.
If you ever think of Facebook's News Feed is filled with those you're not interested in people or something you do not want to hear talk, so that's what Facebook artificial intelligence comes in. Currently, Facebook these recognition technologies are still at the stage of analysis of the collected data. Advanced artificial intelligence technology to help Facebook to identify what are the real and individual users, thereby enhancing the user experience, long time, and as a basis for advertising. "Facebook wants to be the World Centre for artificial intelligence, because the technology can affect everyone and people interact, and also on Instagram, WhatsApp Messenger and all other social tools to bring about change. "
Facebook get into AI has a number of years. In 2010, Facebook launched a face recognition function. The end of 2013, Zuckerberg said, I firmly believe that AI technology is vital for the future of Facebook development and set up a special AI Lab, New York University tenure, head of deep learning experts in the field of Yann LeCun for laboratory. Compared to Facebook and young teams, and LeCun appears quite authoritative. Prior to joining Facebook, and LeCun worked at Bell Laboratories for more than 20 years, is the world's most famous computer research lab, boasts many great products. LeCun while working at Bell Labs developed a system that can read handwritten digits, and named it LeNet.
Zuckerberg for LeCun joined Facebook, choose to create AI Lab in Manhattan, far from Silicon Valley, because LeCun are reluctant to leave New York. In addition, Zuckerberg also allows LeCun retained his professorship. FENDI plus case
Because not every Exchange with LeCun and consideration for improvement that, Zuckerberg also main Park Office of AI research and development stay in the Facebook people sitting near him. "When we moved to a new office building, seating the final arrangements are we about him only ten yards," LeCun said with a chuckle, "he felt far away, he said to us, ' no, this is too far away, to close some. "
The 50-person team of AI, suffered from Zuckerberg's concern: aim high, more concerned about the long-term development of the team. Zuckerberg said: "we 5-10 year one of the objectives is to achieve all sensory levels slightly higher than the basic human level of artificial intelligence: vision, hearing, language, knowledge, taste, and smell. "
To some degree, said Facebook all efforts in AI is to prepare to an era of all things Internet--until then, watch and is connected to the car, phone and home connection, and so on, then Facebook data centers that need to be addressed will be exponentially increased. Facebook Vice President of engineering, Jay Parikh says: "at that time, about everything that is happening in the world of data will increase 10 times, 20 times or even 50 times times, and we now have the traditional mode and the system cannot support. This would require true artificial intelligence to assist in the process. "
However, Fergus and its research and development team is currently free to small issues, rather than immediately to deal with massive data processing. France Antoine Bordes emigrated to New York to join the AI team is working to train the computer to recognize certain concepts, such as according to recognized "playground, John", "John had picked the ball up," and so on, its aim is to make the AI of the computer system to complete voice interaction with people, answer like "where did John go" and so on.
"It's not a big data, this is a super fine data. "
LeCun brought to Facebook's lab School of a strong wind. The product line developers do not need to follow up on Facebook here, they can still have a lot of enthusiasm. "I won't tell them what needs to be done, they can give you interesting things. "
In the development environment, and LeCun product team has launched a breeding, such as Facebook Moments, a photo from the photo sharing photos looking for friends and a key protagonist in the app. "Academically, a developer's best achievement is a piece of paper, in fact, does most of the research and development of the AI Lab personnel concerned with the practical application of the results of their research. "
Have confidence that Oculus became the main point
Virtual reality, Zuckerberg showed great enthusiasm, not before asking him questions, and he can't wait to introduce it.
If the Oculus was born only to gaming experience, then it is obviously not consistent with Facebook's vision of the future. Zuckerberg said his interest in VR all things comes from early entrepreneurial experience, including cell phones. When the birth of the modern Smartphone--2007 years of Apple's iPhone and in 2008 Google Android phones--and at this time Facebook business when in full swing, yet they do not have the resources to create their own mobile platform.
By the year 2013, Facebook has a greater impact, in California, the company has released the first Facebook customize mobile phones. Facebook provides new experience for Andorid phones is through the Facebook Home program. The new software is more than a Facebook app, it can change the Android home screen, as though it is covered in a layer on top of the Android system "skin". Home smart phone instead of a traditional screen, promote Facebook content, such as pictures, information and status updates. The entrance to the Home will continue to offer access to cell phones other applications, but its experience is centered on Facebook.
But even so, based on his family's Facebook platform to create stronger restrictions. "My biggest regret is that Facebook does not have its own mobile platform to improve the application of the ecosystem. "
Oculus, might become the next mobile phone alternative, like cell phones replace desktop computers – but human nature doesn't change. "If you look at how people use computer platforms, including cell phones and computers, you will find that they have 40% time to chat or multimedia entertainment. "Zuckerberg said," after a long period of development when Oculus has become a mature platform, I have reason to believe that people will spend like the former 40% of entertainment time in virtual reality experience. "
About how Zuckerberg and Facebook will lead the Oculus towards the light, we're under the articles section continues to explore. Fendi case
