Mark Zuckerberg is personally assembling a team of experts to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) in a move to accelerate Meta’s AI development.
Bloomberg reports that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is taking a hands-on approach to accelerate the company’s AI development by personally recruiting a team of experts to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI). The secretive new team, referred to internally as the “superintelligence group,” is part of Zuckerberg’s audacious goal to outstrip other tech giants in the race to develop machines capable of performing as well as humans at many tasks.
According to people familiar with the matter, Zuckerberg aims to hire around 50 people for the new team, including a new head of AI research. The CEO has been actively involved in the recruitment process, meeting with potential candidates at his homes in Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto. To facilitate collaboration, Zuckerberg has rearranged desks at Meta’s Menlo Park headquarters so that the new staff will sit near him.
The formation of the superintelligence group comes in tandem with Meta’s planned multi-billion dollar investment in Scale AI, a startup that offers data services to help companies train their AI models. Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang is expected to join the superintelligence group once the deal is finalized. This investment is set to become Meta’s largest external investment to date, underscoring the company’s commitment to advancing its AI capabilities.
Zuckerberg’s increased involvement in AI development is reportedly driven, in part, by his frustration over the quality and response to Llama 4, the latest version of Meta’s large language model designed to power chatbots and other services. Despite the company’s efforts to deliver the best AI offering by the end of the year, the latest release in April fell short of expectations, leading to disappointment both internally and externally.

It will be more people from India.
Microsoft and Amazon have been caught using Indian people for their AI results when the user was expecting it to be computer software.
Shouldn’t a human being be doing this?
“There is no such thing as “AI” other than the next generational builds of computers and their operating systems.”
I agree. Also more compute power by throwing thousands of processors together and having unlimited amounts of storage and data gathering gadgets and giga giga communications. And the components are all cheap.
“Experts”.
LEFT WING experts.
Bet on it.
