An AI beat reporter for more than five years, her work has also appeared in CNBC, MIT Technology Review, Wired UK, and other outlets. Hours before Meta’s earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared his vision for the future of AI: personalized super-smart AI for everyone — especially in the form of wearable glasses. “Developing superintelligence is now in sight.”The news follows Zuckerberg’s expensive, high-profile, and often dramatic AI hiring spree after making its largest-ever external investment: paying $14.3 billion to acquire a 49 percent stake in Scale AI, an industry giant for AI training data. Zuckerberg spun up a new superintelligence lab headed by Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, and since then, Meta has poached top talent for the team from competitors like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and Apple. It’s a discussion that’s been especially relevant in light of the open-source part of President Trump’s recent AI Action Plan.
