Key takeaways from Mark Zuckerberg's memo on Meta's new "Superintelligence" AI drive and key hires
Briefly

Meta is undergoing a significant restructuring of its AI initiatives, including hiring top talent and investing $64 to $72 billion in infrastructure. The company has historically struggled to maintain its competitive edge in AI, prompting CEO Mark Zuckerberg to commit heavily to the field. Meta plans to unify its AI efforts under the new umbrella of Meta Superintelligence Labs. This involves creating a focused directive toward personal superintelligence, with Alexandr Wang appointed as Chief AI Officer to steer the new lab.
Meta is investing tens of billions in infrastructure, data centers, and custom hardware in an attempt to secure a leading role in the AI era.
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.
We're going to call our overall organization Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) which includes all of our foundations, product, and FAIR teams.
Alexandr Wang has joined Meta as our Chief AI Officer to lead MSL, recognized for his historic importance of superintelligence.
