The post Mark Zuckerberg Unveils New Meta AI Lab After Poaching OpenAI Talent appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Zuckerberg revealed the new AI researcher dream team today, which he called the Meta Superintelligence Labs. Many of the new team members were lured away from rival firms, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC. The team is led by Alexandr Wang, former CEO of Scale AI, who now serves as Meta’s Chief AI Officer. He co-leads the division with former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, who oversees AI product development and applied research. “As the pace of AI progress accelerates, developing superintelligence is coming into sight,” Zuckerberg wrote. “I believe this will be the beginning of a new era for humanity, and I am fully committed to doing what it takes for Meta to lead the way.” Meta’s aggressive recruitment of AI researchers from rival firms has sparked outrage at OpenAI, prompting an internal memo from OpenAI’s chief research officer, Mark Chen, who described the poaching as akin to someone “breaking into our home and stealing something,” according to a report by Wired. “I feel a visceral feeling right now, as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something,” Chen wrote. “Please trust that we haven’t been sitting idly by.” To that end, the company reportedly gave OpenAI employees the week off to recover from the frenzy of rumors surrounding the talent war.
