Meta has hired three OpenAI researchers, Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai, to work on building superintelligent systems, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Meta invested $14.3 billion for a stake in Scale AI and is focusing on boosting talent within the company to compete effectively in the AI space.
Meta has made an acquisition offer to Safe Superintelligence (SSI) and is trying to hire SSI co-founder Daniel Gross and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman to strengthen its AI division.
While Meta offers high compensation packages, including large signing bonuses, to attract talent, the company faces competition from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic in the AI talent wars.
