Zuckerberg launches new division focusing on developing AI
(MENAFN) Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has officially launched Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), a new division focused on developing artificial intelligence systems that exceed human capabilities.
Announced on Monday, the initiative merges Meta’s primary AI research and product units under a single umbrella, with the ambitious goal of creating “personal superintelligence for everyone.”
Heading the new lab is Alexandr Wang, the 28-year-old founder of Scale AI, who joins Meta as Chief AI Officer. This follows Meta’s reported $14 billion investment in his data-labeling company. Wang is joined by Nat Friedman, former CEO of GitHub, along with a team of top engineers recruited from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic.
“As the pace of AI progress accelerates, developing superintelligence is coming into sight. I believe this will be the beginning of a new era for humanity, and I am fully committed to doing what it takes for Meta to lead the way,” Zuckerberg wrote in an internal message, calling the launch a pivotal moment.
The establishment of MSL reflects the growing race among American tech corporations and heightened competition with China in the AI sector. In January, the emergence of Chinese AI firm DeepSeek captured global attention after it claimed its technology outperformed OpenAI’s ChatGPT in key efficiency benchmarks.
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump introduced the $500 billion Stargate initiative—a sweeping national strategy aimed at securing U.S. dominance in superintelligent AI. The plan includes support for private-sector innovation, export controls on cutting-edge semiconductors, and closer cooperation between American tech companies and national defense agencies.
