The new research hub will also be free to not only publish its work, but to collaborate with outside experts and institutions. Facebook is partnering with the Technical University of Munich to establish an independent AI ethics research centre. The centre will be based in Munich, and it has already received a grant from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs (BMWi). Facebook is supporting it with an initial $7.5m grant over five years and may contribute its own research and tools. The institute will be able to publish its work and collaborate with outside groups and experts.
