Facebook Invests in French Centre for A.I. | Artificial intelligence

Facebook will invest €10m in its French artificial intelligence centre in the latest sign of optimism in the country’s tech sector following Emmanuel Macron’s election as president last year.

The US social media giant said the five-year investment would be used to double the number of AI scientists at its research base in Paris to 60 and increase its funding of PhD candidates from 10 to 40.
