Most of the posts containing misinformation are linked to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other sensitive topics. To lessen the harmful content, which could negatively influence many consumers across the globe, Meta decided to develop the new artificial intelligence called Few-Shot Learner.

"Harmful content continues to evolve rapidly - whether fueled by current events or by people looking for new ways to evade our systems - and it's crucial for AI systems to evolve alongside it," said Meta via its official blog post.

Mark Zuckerberg's tech firm claimed that the new artificial intelligence could adapt to new threats while relying on fewer labeled content.

Meta added that the new Few-Shot Learner function would improve the company's upcoming artificial intelligence systems.

If this is true, FSL would serve as the backbone of new features specifically developed and launched to tackle different violations in Facebook and other online platforms.

Efficiency of Meta's FSL

The new Few-Shot Learner artificial intelligence supports around 100 languages. It could easily learn from different kinds of data.

These features allow FSL to identify fake news on a wider scale, unlike other AI-powered capabilities, which are limited to certain languages.
