Some sources have reported that Meta’s chief artificial ielligence scieist Yann Lecan is planning to leave the tech gia to start his own startup.
According to the Financial Times, Yann Lacan, who is now a professor at New York University, a senior meta researcher and winner of the prestigious Turing Award, plans to leave the company in the coming mohs. It is also said that he is in talks to raise funds for a startup that will focus on coinuing his work on global models.
Yann Lacan was to launch his own startup in the field of artificial ielligence
A global model is a type of artificial ielligence that develops an iernal understanding of its environme in order to predict possible outcomes by simulating cause and effect scenarios. Promine laboratories and startups such as Google DeepMind and World Labs are also developing such models.
Lacan’s departure from meta occurs in a very sensitive situation; Because the tech gia recely changed its approach to AI developme to address concerns about falling behind competitors like OpenAI, Google, and Ahropic.
Meta has restructured its artificial ielligence division and recruited more than 50 engineers and researchers from competitors to create a new unit called Meta Superielligence Labs. The company also acquired artificial ielligence startup Scale AI in June for $14.3 billion.
Some sources have now said that these decisions have made the state of Meta’s AI unit increasingly chaotic; New tales feel frustrated with the company’s bureaucracy, and the scope of the old meta-generating AI team is also limited.
Lacan was skeptical of the idea that artificial ielligence technology is the cure for all human problems, and even stated in his personal X-Page that artificial ielligence systems still have a long way to go.
