"Meta has heavily recruited from Google's AI division DeepMind for its new superintelligence team, bringing in at least 10 previously unreported researchers since July, according to LinkedIn data reviewed by Business Insider. Meta's DeepMind hires include researchers who worked on Google's most powerful AI models, and even one whose work helped Google earn gold at the International Mathematical Olympiad."
"Meta has also hired heavily from Scale AI for its safety and evaluations team. At least six of the data labeling startup's researchers announced their departures to Meta in recent weeks. In June, Meta bought nearly half of Scale AI for $14 billion, tapping its CEO Alexandr Wang to lead its superintelligence effort."
""We operate one of the most important research teams in AI, and we're growing it. The moves of a small number of employees to Meta as part of the transaction are a distinct dynamic from the other companies mentioned in this story," Joe Osborne, a Scale AI spokesperson, told Business Insider in a statement."
