Meta Invests Billions in AI Talent and Technology – Coincu

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, is actively recruiting a 50-member “superintelligence” team focused on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), meeting candidates personally in California.

The initiative highlights Meta’s ambition to integrate AGI across its platforms, including social networks, AI assistants, and smart glasses, marking a significant strategic shift in AI implementation.

Meta’s $10 Billion Commitment to AI and AGI Ambitions

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has directly engaged in forming a 50-member “superintelligence” team, focusing on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), to bring innovation across its platforms such as AI assistants and Ray-Ban smart glasses. The effort includes a multi-billion-dollar investment in Scale AI, the largest external financial commitment in Meta’s history. Sources report that Zuckerberg is leveraging Meta’s robust advertising business to support these initiatives.

Immediate changes include a notable restructuring of Meta’s headquarters to accommodate the new team, and Mark Zuckerberg’s increased involvement, largely due to past dissatisfaction with Llama 4’s performance. This reflects a decisive move to strengthen Meta’s position in AI technology. Experts suggest that Meta plans to invest up to $10 billion in Scale AI, and team offers reportedly range from seven to nine figures for leading talent.
