Meta recruits seven top AI researchers from OpenAI, intensifying the talent war
The post Meta recruits seven top AI researchers from OpenAI, intensifying the talent war appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Meta Platforms is rapidly building its artificial intelligence (AI) muscle by continuing to hire top researchers from rival OpenAI. According to the recent update, the company has brought on four more AI scientists: Shengjia Zhao, Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren. These researchers have reportedly accepted offers to join Meta’s AI division, although their specific roles have not been publicly disclosed. This wave of new hires comes just on the heels of the poaching of three additional, prominent researchers from OpenAI’s office in Zurich. A few days ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov and Xiaohua Zhai were leaving OpenAI to work for Meta. All three have strong expertise in computer vision and deep learning. Media outlets contacted Meta and OpenAI for comment on the matter, but they both declined to comment. Zuckerberg accelerates AI superintelligence plans The hires represent a major push by Zuckerberg to put his company on the map in the race to develop AI systems that reason, learn and make decisions at or beyond the level of human ability. The quest for artificial general intelligence (AGI) is one of Meta’s most critical long-term missions, according to Zuckerberg, who has called for a concerted, open-source effort to build this technology. Meta’s approach is in marked contrast to that of OpenAI, which has taken a more closed model. OpenAI has partnered with Microsoft and closely controls how its models, including GPT-4, are used. Still, Meta has been releasing more of its research and models to the open-source community. This has drawn researchers interested in transparency and scientific freedom, a potential reason top talent is moving. The new hires are being brought in to work on Meta’s next-gen AI models, namely its Llama series and more general AGI projects, which belong to Meta’s AI…
