Mark Zuckerberg has broadcast plenty of loud signals that he, too, is a true AI CEO. He has directed his company to spend many tens of billions of dollars on developing models and building out infrastructure.

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.

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