Meta to Restructure AI Lab to Accelerate Superintelligence Development

According to ChainCatcher, industry sources report that Meta is splitting its AI superintelligence lab into four departments, each focusing on research, infrastructure, and product development. This move is part of a broader effort to accelerate the so-called superintelligence process. In a memo, Meta’s Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Alexandr Wang stated that the superintelligence lab will be divided into smaller units dedicated to AI research, infrastructure, hardware, product integration, and the company’s long-term superintelligence objectives.

According to people familiar with the matter, some executives are expected to leave following the restructuring. Meta is also considering integrating third-party AI models into its products, which would mark a shift from its previous reliance on in-house AI development.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg has made artificial intelligence and the recent advances in superintelligence central to Meta’s long-term vision. On the company’s second-quarter earnings call, CFO Susan Li stated that capital expenditures could reach $72 billion by the end of the year, driven primarily by AI-related infrastructure.
