A significant restructuring of the group artificial intelligence Meta Platforms Inc announced by the CEO of the online giant, Mark Zuckerbergincluding the commitment to the development of “hyper-name” or systems that can complete work just as well or better than people.
In accordance with Bloombergo Mark Zuckerberg informed Monday (30.06.2025) its employees Meta Platforms Inc For artificial intelligence, that a new group will be established Meta Superintelligence Labsor MSL, whose 28 -year -old will lead Alexandr Wangformer CEO of Startup Scale AI for data labeling.
According to Memo, which came in Bloomberg, Wang, whom Zuckerberg called “the most impressive founder of his generation”, will perform Chief Ai Officer.
Nat Friedman, a former CEO of Github, will “work with Alex to lead” the team, Zuckerberg continued, and will lead Meta’s work on AI products and applied research. Bloomberg had recently published information about the attempt by Meta Platforms Inc’s own CEO to hire a new super-name team.
“As the rate of progress of artificial intelligence accelerates, the development of supernatural is visible,” Zuckerberg wrote in his memoir to his company staff.
“I think this will be the beginning of a new era for humanity and I am fully committed to doing whatever it takes to lead the Meta.”
Meta will spend “hundreds of billions” on artificial intelligence surveys in the coming years, Zuckerberg said, though the Facebook founder also expects that many competing companies will probably exaggerate expenditure on artificial intelligence.
“I believe that all investing companies make a rational decision, because the disadvantage of being back is that you are out of position for the most important technology for the next 10-15 years,” he said.
Billions of dollars
The new unit Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL)will be staffed by the company’s existing groups in artificial intelligence, and the group Fundamental AI Researchknown as FAIR. Meta also creates a “new workshop that focuses on the development of our next generation of models,” Zuckerberg said in the famous Memo to the staff.
Artificial intelligence is now monopolizing this year’s interest as it competes with opponents such as Openai and Alphabet Inc’s Google.
Earlier in June, Meta invested $ 14.3 billion in Scale AI and hired – as mentioned above – the young Alexandr Wang. Is still in discussions for agreements with the Perplexity AI Inc and Runway AI Inc and is expected to acquire the Playaia small startup that uses artificial intelligence to reproduce voices.
Zuckerberg has personally dealt with talent for the Meta artificial intelligence groups. He has hosted in his homes in Palo Alto, California and Lake Tachos, several candidates, having offered tens of millions of dollars in the form of cash and shares.
In addition to Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL)Zuckerberg made 11 new hires, including researchers and engineers from Openai, Anthropic and Google.
The group includes its former researchers DeepMind, Jack Rae and Pei Sunseveral researchers of Openaiincluding Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, Shengjia Zhao and Hongyu Renas well as the Joel Pobar her Anthropicsoftware engineer who used to work in Meta for over a decade.
With these and others, Meta’s shares closed on Monday on Wall Street with a small change, having earlier reached the historical high of $ 747.90.
