- Zuckerberg has created a new group called Meta Superintelligence Labs
- The group’s objective is to create a superintendent of AI
- The new hires of Openai will form the team led by Alexandr Wang of Scale Ai
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, warmed the race for the superintelligence of AI by restructuring the division of artificial intelligence of the company in the main objective being to develop an artificial superintendent, that is to say of intelligence which is far beyond what humans are capable.
Superintelligence could mean exponential jumps in medicine, science and technology that considerably change the course of humanity, but it does not occur without risks.
In a memo to employees, Zuckerberg said that he was creating a new group called Meta Superintelligence Labs, led by Alexandr Wang, former CEO of the Data-Startup IA start-up scale, which Meta recently acquired $ 14.3 billion.
A new era for humanity
As Bloomberg reported, the note sent by Zuckerberg reads as follows: “While the pace of AI progress accelerates, the development of superintendent is in sight. I believe that it will be the beginning of a new era for humanity, and I am fully determined to do what it takes for Meta to open the way. ”
The Memortie 11 recent hiring in the new division, which includes the ex-employees of Openai who have worked on the last 12 months of OpenAi products, as well as employees of Anthropic and Google.
The list includes Trapit Bansal, which was the pioneer of RL on the thought chain and the co-creator of the models of the O series in Openai, Shuchao Bi, co-creator of GPT-4O Vocal mode and O4-Mini, and Huiwen Chang, co-creator of the generation of images of GPT-4O, which has already invented the mask and architectures of the text in the image.
Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, the manufacturers of Chatgpt, posted on several occasions on the achievement of the Superiorness being the objective of his business on his blog.
Not more recently in June, he wrote: “We have exceeded the horizon of the event; Takeoff started. Humanity is about to create a digital superintendent, and at least so far, it is much less bizarre than it seems that it should not be. ”
However, it seems that Zuckerberg wants Meta to be the company that first claims to have reached superintendent, and he certainly throws a lot of money into this project, which has led some to wonder if it is really the right approach and if surveillance is even possible.
Mark Zuckerberg paid $ 14.3 billion for the AI scale just to hire Alexandr Wang, and even offered OpenAi $ 100 million employees to join Meta, according to a New York Times report.
Zuckerberg’s new push towards superintelligence comes after the own chief scientist of Meta AI, Yann Le Cun, speaking of superintelligence publicly declared last month that “this will not happen in the next two years, there is no way to hell”, and casts a doubt about the entire idea of the scaling of LLM models, like Meta or Chatgpt, To achieve a superfinuation of supentelligence, which is the OpenAid.
Meta AI is currently available in all Meta social media applications, such as Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram, and can also be used in the new Meta AI application.
