Meta splits AI group into four teams, Bloomberg reports

Meta is splitting its AI group into four distinct teams to better capitalize on recently acquired talent, with the new structure meant to “accelerate” the company’s pursuit of superintelligence, according to an internal memo sent by Alexandr Wang, Meta‘s chief AI officer, Bloomberg’s Riley Griffin reports. The four teams are TBD Lab, led by Wang; FAIR; Products and Applied Research, led by former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman; and MSL Infra, which will focus on areas such as research, product, and infrastructure to support Meta’s AI ambitions, according to the memo. As part of the reorganization, Aparna Ramani, a Meta vice president charged with leading the company’s AI, data and developer infrastructure units, will run the MSL Infra team, while Robert Fergus will continue to lead FAIR, the memo says. No layoffs were part of Tuesday’s reorganization, according to a person familiar with the matter.
