Meta names Shengjia Zhao as chief scientist of AI superintelligence unit


Shengjia Zhao, a former OpenAI researcher, will round out the leadership team at Meta's new AI lab.

The Information reported in June that Zhao would be joining Meta Superintelligence Labs, alongside three other influential OpenAI researchers, including Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren. The Meta CEO has been on a recruiting spree to staff up his AI superintelligence lab, which has entailed sending personal emails to researchers and inviting prospects to his Lake Tahoe estate. Meta has also upped its investment in cloud computing infrastructure, which should help MSL conduct the massive training runs required to create competitive frontier AI models.
