 "Facebook acquires language processing platform Wit.ai to develop voice recognition")
In an attempt to develop voice recognition, Facebook has reportedly acquired Wit.ai, an open platform for natural language processing.
The Wit.ai team said that the platform will remain open and available in the wake of the acquisition; however, it's unclear how the platform will develop in the future, reported The Verge.
Wit.ai said in a blog post that the technology will play a big part in helping Facebook achieve its mission of connecting everyone and building amazing experiences for the over 1.3 billion people on its platform.
Facebook had its eyes on artificial intelligence software, including language processing, for a long time as such programs offer an easy way to leverage the huge amount of data flowing through the platform.
