This afternoon Priscilla and I sat down with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. We talked about last week's earthquake and how the Facebook community in Italy and around the world has come together to help people recover and rebuild.

We also talked about how technology is helping create jobs and grow the Italian economy. I told the Prime Minister I'm especially excited with the work being done across Europe on artificial intelligence. As part of the Facebook AI Research Partnership Program, we're providing 26 state-of-the-art GPU servers to research institutions across Europe — including one to the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia here in Italy. They've got a great artificial intelligence and computer vision program, and this new technology will hopefully help students and the faculty do even more.

Here's a photo of us holding a real server from Facebook's data center that is symbolic of the servers for artificial intelligence that we're giving to help research throughout Europe.
