Meta is reshaping its artificial intelligence division as it pushes harder toward building superintelligent AI. The company is splitting its recently created AI group into four separate teams and moving many of its existing AI employees into this new structure. The reorganisation is part of Meta’s broader plan to make the most of its big investments in AI talent and infrastructure.
In an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg, Alexandr Wang, the former Scale AI CEO who recently joined Meta as chief AI officer, said the new setup is designed to “accelerate” progress toward superintelligence.
“Superintelligence is coming, and in order to take it seriously, we need to organize around the key areas that will be critical to reach it — research, product and infra,” Wang wrote in the memo.
The group, called Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), will now include:

People familiar with the matter clarified that no layoffs are involved in this restructuring. However, some leadership shifts are taking place. The AGI foundations group is being dissolved, and its leaders Ahmad Al-Dahle and Amir Frenkel will now focus on “strategic MSL initiatives” under Wang. Meanwhile, Loredana Crisan, who recently worked on Meta’s generative AI group, is leaving the company to join Figma.
The move comes as Meta has been aggressively hiring top AI talent from rivals, offering massive pay packages in the process. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has openly stated that the company’s goal is to develop superintelligence, or AI that can outperform humans in completing tasks. He has also said Meta is prepared to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on talent and infrastructure to achieve this vision.
