Mark Zuckerberg apologizes for Puerto Rico VR stunt

From Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park on Monday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg's cartoon avatar announced an effort to help Puerto Rico. And on Tuesday, he apologized for what some considered a tone deaf way to deliver a message of humanitarian aid.

Through his avatar, Zuckerberg said the company is using artificial intelligence to build population maps as part of an effort with the Red Cross. He said it's possible to look at satellite imagery of an area to understand where people live and how infrastructure is working within those communities.
