Meta is undergoing a major internal restructuring, deciding to integrate all artificial intelligence-related teams into a new unit called "Meta Superintelligence Labs." The news was disclosed by Bloomberg, with an internal memo from Meta showing that CEO Mark Zuckerberg aims to focus the company on developing "superintelligent" artificial intelligence through this restructuring.
The "Superintelligence Lab" will be led by Alexandr Wang, former CEO of Scale AI, who will be responsible for the overall direction and management. Meanwhile, Nat Friedman, former CEO of GitHub, will be in charge of Meta's artificial intelligence products and their application research. This change marks a further deepening of Meta's strategy in the field of artificial intelligence, highlighting Zuckerberg's high emphasis on the competition for general artificial intelligence (AGI).
To accelerate development, Meta has recently made significant investments in the AI field, especially investing 14.3 billion USD in Scale AI and successfully recruiting Wang. In addition, Zuckerberg has attracted 11 AI researchers from competitors to join Meta, including Pei Sun, chief researcher at Google DeepMind, and Joel Pobar, an engineer from Anthropic, among other industry top talents.
This restructuring is not only a move for Meta to enhance its technological strength but also a strategic response by Zuckerberg to the future competitive landscape in the AI field. As more talent and resources are directed towards Meta, the company's AI R&D capabilities will see a significant enhancement, and its future development is worth looking forward to.
