Mark Zuckerberg team's developing solar-powered planes for beaming down internet connectivity

This is an impressive project from our team developing solar-powered planes for beaming down internet connectivity and our AI research team. Many people live in remote communities and accurate data on where people live doesn't always exist. We can't beam internet connectivity to people if we don't know where communities are, so we built AI technology to analyze 15.6 billion satellite images to create much more accurate population maps across 21.6 million square kilometers of Earth. We will share these maps openly with the community so other organizations can use them too. This should help with planning energy, health and transport infrastructure, as well as assisting people who need help in disasters. This video shows how these AI enhanced maps compare with current state of the art population maps. twitter.com/markzuckvideos ift.tt/2i2KiTx ift.tt/2hTFQIO ift.tt/2i2SOBT
