Mark Zuckerberg announced the creation of a new AI superintelligence unit at Meta, aiming to develop artificial intelligence that surpasses human intelligence.
The Meta Superintelligence Lab has attracted high-profile researchers, including several who were previously with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.
Zuckerberg reportedly offered OpenAI workers significant incentives, with some joining the new lab to help integrate advanced AI into Meta's products like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The Meta boss stated that the new talent influx would help deliver "personal superintelligence" for its billions of users, believing it will usher in a new era for humanity.
Led by Meta's chief AI officer Alexandr Wang, the lab is expected to reach the frontier of superintelligence within the next year and will also work on improving Meta's Llama models.
