Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is reshaping the company's AI efforts to focus on superintelligence, or AI that surpasses human intelligence. A new group called Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) will house Meta's AI initiatives going forward. Alexandr Wang, the 28-year-old former CEO of AI training data startup Scale AI, will lead the group and assume the newly created role of Meta's Chief AI Officer. Meta will bring on 11 new hires for MSL, including researchers from competitors like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Meta's vision for AI is 'personal superintelligence for everyone' and the company is working on its next generation of AI models to debut 'in the next year or so'. Meta has a broad reach: the company's AI is used by more than one billion monthly active users across its apps, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Meta is investing heavily in AI, with plans to spend $60 billion to $65 billion this year alone on AI infrastructure.
