1 month agoMeta says OpenAI hire is superintelligence group chief scientist
Shengjia Zhao has been appointed chief scientist of Meta's superintelligence AI group to lead the development of advanced AI models.
Meta’s latest move to hire Shengjia Zhao, a co-creator of ChatGPT, as chief scientist for its Superintelligence Labs demonstrates its aggressive strategy in the AI talent acquisition landscape. Following a $15 billion investment in Scale AI, Zhao’s expertise from GPT-4 and synthetic data initiatives at OpenAI will enhance Meta's push towards foundational AI models. The recruitment of three other significant researchers from OpenAI further emphasizes the fierce competition for top-tier AI talent, likened to searching for a superstar like LeBron James, given the limited pool of experts capable of creating advanced AI systems.
