In a strategic pivot that signals Meta’s intensifying focus on advanced artificial intelligence, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the formation of a dedicated ‘superintelligence’ division set to launch in 2025. According to an internal memo obtained by Business Insider, this new unit will concentrate exclusively on developing AI systems that surpass human capabilities across multiple domains. This move positions Meta as a serious contender in the race for artificial general intelligence (AGI), directly challenging competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic.
The superintelligence team will reportedly operate with substantial autonomy and resources, reflecting Zuckerberg’s growing conviction that advanced AI represents the company’s most promising frontier. Industry analysts note this represents a significant evolution in Meta’s AI strategy, which has already seen the company invest billions in infrastructure and talent acquisition. The timing of this announcement comes as Meta’s AI models have demonstrated impressive capabilities, though the company has been more cautious than some rivals in making bold claims about AGI timelines.
