Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a significant organizational restructuring aimed at accelerating the development of artificial superintelligence. As reported on January 30th (local time), Meta has established a new dedicated entity named 'Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL).' The central objective of MSL is to achieve "superintelligence," a goal Zuckerberg believes is now within reach due to the accelerating pace of AI advancements.

Alexander Wang, the founder of ScaleAI, has been appointed to lead MSL and will also serve as Meta's inaugural Chief AI Officer (CAIO). Zuckerberg highly praised Wang's entrepreneurial acumen. The strategic framework of MSL involves a consolidation of Meta's existing AI initiatives. Specifically, it will integrate current teams focused on large language models (LLMs) and generative AI product development. Additionally, MSL will establish a new research laboratory specifically dedicated to the development of next-generation AI models, signifying a concentrated effort on foundational AI research and development.

To bolster its capabilities, Meta has recruited 11 new researchers and engineers, notably attracting talent from prominent AI organizations such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. This aggressive talent acquisition strategy underscores the company's commitment to securing leading expertise in the field. Zuckerberg's internal communications emphasized his conviction that superintelligence development signals the dawn of a new era for humanity, with Meta aiming to lead this transformative technological progression. This strategic realignment highlights the intensifying global competition for leadership in artificial intelligence.
