Shengjia Zhao, co-creator of ChatGPT, threatened to leave Meta shortly after joining, highlighting challenges in Mark Zuckerberg's ambitious AI restructuring efforts. As Meta recruits new AI leaders, including Zhao and others from major tech firms, the company faces high turnover with several new hires departing quickly after their onboarding.
Meta has appointed Shengjia Zhao as the chief scientist of its new superintelligence lab, which aims to advance the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Zhao, previously at Google DeepMind, will lead efforts to explore innovative AI technologies and their implications. This move highlights Meta's commitment to staying at the forefront of AI research and development.
