Meta has successfully poached Ruoming Pang, a key AI executive from Apple who led the company's foundational models team.
Meta is assembling a new superintelligence team and offering lucrative pay packages of up to $100 million to attract top AI talent from companies like OpenAI and Google.
Pang's departure from Apple could adversely impact the company's AI efforts, leading to potential challenges in developing practical and useful AI features like Siri.
Apple is now facing the task of reshuffling responsibilities within its AI team, with Pang's foundational team set to report to Zhifeng Chen following his exit.
