Meta Establishes Superintelligence Lab, with Talent of Chinese Descent as its Backbone: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the formation of the new “Superintelligence Lab” (MSL), aimed at integrating all of the company’s AI efforts to develop next-generation frontier models. The lab is led by Alexandr Wang, former CEO of Scale AI and a Chinese-American entrepreneur born in 1997, with former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman assisting in management. Among the first 11 members announced, seven are of Chinese descent. Most of them come from top institutions like OpenAI and Google DeepMind, and have made outstanding contributions to key projects such as GPT-4o and Gemini. This reorganization and high-profile talent acquisition highlight Meta’s determination in the AI arms race, as it attempts to catch up with and surpass competitors by centralizing top talent and resources to achieve its grand vision of “providing personal superintelligence for everyone.” Notably, Meta’s key AI figure and Turing Award winner, Yann LeCun, does not appear on the new team’s roster.
