Many tech companies say they are focusing on developing artificial intelligence technology, but few can say they are willing to invest money in the expertise of the mind like Meta.
Meta is seen to have made a big splash in the world of AI development and research when they took some important names in the industry from Apple and OpenAI, including Ruoming Pang and Shengjia Zhao and formed the Meta Superintelligence Labs AI technology research team.
Recently, it was reported that Bowen Zhang, a researcher in multimodal AI, in short a type of AI technology that combines several mediums, such as text, images, video and voice not only for machine learning purposes, but also to display the generated content.
Bowen Zhang joins Ruoming Pang along with Tom Gunter and Mark Lee as four AI researchers who have left Apple to join the Meta Superintelligence Labs team.
Meanwhile, Shengjia Zhao has also been appointed Chief Scientist at Meta Superintelligence Labs. This is not surprising, especially since he was also responsible for developing important AI models for OpenAI before, such as ChatGPT, GPT-4 and OpenAI o1, which is now available through OpenAI o1-preview.
