"Recently, The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta reorganized its AI structure, creating a new group of applied AI engineers. Meta had brought in Alexandr Wang as chief AI officer last summer, after investing more than $14 billion for a 49% stake in Wang's data-labeling company, Scale AI. This brand new applied AI team, however, is separate from Wang's team, and reports up to CTO Andrew Bosworth."
"Last week, the Times of India ran a headline saying 'Mark Zuckerberg may be done with Meta's highest-paid employee as company's reorganization shows.' That story went mildly viral on Reddit and was aggregated by IDN Financials. Meta's spokesperson, Andy Stone, disputed the story on X, and as of Tuesday, the headline has been changed."
"The truth: Alex helped create the new team, still runs MSL and TBD, has growing not waning influence. This is all so silly."
Meta reorganized its AI structure by creating a new applied AI engineering team separate from Alexandr Wang's existing team, with the new group reporting to CTO Andrew Bosworth. Wang, who became Meta's chief AI officer after Meta invested over $14 billion for a 49% stake in his company Scale AI, reportedly helped create this new team while maintaining his existing responsibilities. Rumors emerged suggesting Zuckerberg was dissatisfied with Wang, but Meta's spokesperson denied these claims as false. Zuckerberg subsequently posted a photo with Wang on Threads, appearing to address the speculation and demonstrate their continued working relationship.
