Recently, Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been actively adjusting the company's artificial intelligence business. To better cope with market competition, Meta plans to split its artificial intelligence department - the Meta Super Intelligence Lab - into four groups.

According to insiders, one group will focus on artificial intelligence research, while another will be dedicated to developing a new generation of powerful artificial intelligence technology called "Super Intelligence." The other two groups will be responsible for product development and infrastructure, including data centers and related hardware.

This reform aims to optimize resource allocation and improve the efficiency of AI product development. However, with the reorganization of departments, some executives may leave. Additionally, as the size of the AI department has expanded to thousands of people in recent years, Meta is considering overall streamlining, including layoffs or transferring some employees to other departments. These discussions are still ongoing and no final decision has been made yet.

Meta's artificial intelligence strategy has experienced multiple upheavals before, and Zuckerberg has become increasingly focused on it. He is willing to invest heavily to carry out a thorough reform to maintain competitiveness in the rapidly developing field of artificial intelligence. In June this year, Meta established the Super Intelligence Lab, focusing on creating an artificial intelligence that surpasses the human brain. For this purpose, Meta invested 14.3 billion dollars in the startup Scale AI and hired the company's CEO Alexander Wang as the Chief AI Officer.

In the past few months, Zuckerberg's decisions have caused tensions within the company. Alexander Wang's new team is working hard to build the company's most powerful artificial intelligence model and discussing setting the new model as "closed-source," which contrasts sharply with Meta's long-standing "open-source" philosophy. At the same time, some long-time Meta employees have expressed dissatisfaction with the introduction of the new team, especially after Shengjia Zhao, a researcher from OpenAI, was appointed as Chief AI Scientist, leading to more scrutiny of the work of old employees.

The personnel changes are continuing, and senior executives who were involved in Meta's AI research early on are also leaving constantly. Some of Meta's top scientists have switched jobs, affecting the company's internal morale and stability. Despite this, some senior AI leaders remain in the company, continuing to drive progress in fundamental research.
