Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is restructuring the company’s AI efforts to center around building AI “superintelligence.”
Going forward, all teams working on AI at Meta will fall under a new group called Meta Superintelligence Labs, according to Bloomberg, which viewed an internal memo sent Monday.
Alexandr Wang, the former CEO of data labeling startup Scale AI, will lead the group as chief AI officer. He’ll partner with former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, who will oversee Meta’s AI products and applied research, per Bloomberg.
Zuckerberg has been working hard to get ahead of the AGI race, mainly by acquiring AI companies and employees from top AI firms. Earlier this month, Meta invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI, bringing on Wang in the process.
Zuckerberg has also been able to lure 11 new AI researchers from competitors, according to the report, including some previously unreported hires such as Google DeepMind principal researcher Pei Sun and Anthropic engineer Joel Pobar.
