Meta Platforms Inc.’s top artificial intelligence scientist,
Yann LeCun, is reportedly planning to leave the company in the
coming months to start his own AI venture,
Azernews reports, citing the Financial Times.
LeCun’s potential exit is linked to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s
efforts to restructure the company’s AI initiatives, reportedly
moving away from the LeCun-led Fundamental AI Research Lab and
bringing in Scale AI’s Alexandr Wang to head a new
“superintelligence team.”
According to the report, LeCun is in discussions to raise
funding for a new company focused on developing “world models”—AI
systems designed to give machines human-level intelligence. Neither
LeCun nor Meta has officially confirmed his departure.
