Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has launched a 'superintelligence' project to take artificial intelligence to a new level. According to Bloomberg, Zuckerberg is assembling an exclusive team of leading AI experts to create technology that surpasses human-level capabilities.
Expressing dissatisfaction with current progress, Zuckerberg invited researchers to his Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto homes, to work on artificial general intelligence (AGI) — the idea of machines possessing broad, human-like skills. According to media reports, Meta plateforms is investing $15bn to achieve this goal.
Meta’s billionaire Chief Executive aims to position the company ahead of competitors in the AGI race. He plans to personally recruit nearly 50 specialists for the new team and has restructured the Menlo Park headquarters to foster closer collaboration.
Zuckerberg is also planning a major investment in Scale AI, a data services and custom AI applications company. This will be Meta’s largest external investment to date.
Bloomberg reports that Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang will join the 'superintelligence' team once the deal is finalized.
Meta recently launched a free AI app based on its Llama 4 model, presenting it as a more affordable alternative to competitors like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini. However, the company is fighting the perception that it may have fallen behind in the AI race after its initial set of Llama 4 large language models released in April fell short of performance expectations.
Meta continues to integrate AI across Facebook, WhatsApp, Ray-Ban smart glasses, and chatbots, while competition in the AI field remains intense.
