Meta’s AI Research Team Faces Hiring Freeze
A recent report from the Wall Street Journal has revealed that Meta has implemented a hiring freeze for its AI research team, following a series of changes to its Superintelligence Lab.
Reorganization and Downsizing
According to the report, Meta is restructuring its Superintelligence Lab by breaking it up into four smaller teams, each with its own focus on AI research, superintelligence development, AI products, and AI infrastructure. This restructuring comes as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasizes the importance of small teams in conducting superintelligence research.
Swift Changes and Market Concerns
In the past two months, Meta has undergone drastic changes, including the recruitment of over 50 AI professionals from competitors like OpenAI and Google. However, the company has now paused hiring for its AI team, leading to speculation about the reasons behind this sudden freeze.
Some investors and analysts are warning of a potential AI bubble, following market volatility and a recent MIT study indicating low returns on investment for companies implementing AI technologies.
