Meta Is Shelling Out Big Bucks to Get Ahead in AI. Here’s Who It’s Hiring
SAN MATEO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 25 – Meta Platforms has invested $14.3 billion in AI and is aggressively recruiting top talent amid a global pool of only about 2,000 elite AI researchers, heightening competition with OpenAI.
- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a keynote on Sept. 25, 2024, announcing plans to lead AI development at the company's Menlo Park headquarters.
- This event followed Meta's shift from the metaverse to AI, driven by losing the mobile OS race and the desire to surpass rivals like OpenAI.
- Meta invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI last month and attracted top researchers from OpenAI, Apple, Google, and Anthropic to build a superintelligence team.
- Zuckerberg committed to investing an enormous amount of capital into AI computing resources and emphasized the critical role of assembling a top-tier, highly skilled team to succeed in the AI competition.
- The aggressive hiring and investment pressure Meta to deliver AI breakthroughs, as analysts expect tough questions on how superintelligence aligns with business growth.
