Meta is shifting how it plans to ensure widespread access to superintelligence, a suggestion that the company’s most advanced AI may remain closed so that Meta can stay in the driver’s seat.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told investors that his new research lab will focus on building AI models that can learn with minimal human input.

Years removed from the failed promises of the metaverse, Zuckerberg has gone all-in on AI, hiring former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to lead a new “superintelligence” team at Meta, poaching top performers from rival firms like OpenAI and Apple, and making deals to build massive AI infrastructure projects.
