Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has heated up the race towards AI superintelligence by restructuring the company’s artificial intelligence division with the main aim being to develop artificial superintelligence, that is, intelligence that is far beyond what humans are capable of.

Mark Zuckerberg has officially revealed the team members of Meta’s new “superintelligence” division, following a months-long recruitment drive. Facebook’s parent company successfully poached seven researchers from OpenAI, two from Google DeepMind, one from Anthropic, and one from Sesame, an artificial intelligence hardware company.

Helmed by Alexandr Wang, Meta’s newly created Superintelligence Labs unifies the company’s sprawling AI efforts and raises the stakes for rival AI firms.
