Facebook has announced improvements for its Automatic Alt Text (AAT) system. It will now be able to identify activities, landmarks, types of animals, and more. The tech giant said in a blog post that the improved AAT recognises over 1,200 concepts, that is 10 times more than what it could identify when it was launched in 2016.
