In recent months, Meta has significantly increased its focus on generative AI. This includes a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI and bringing on Scale AI’s CEO, Alexandr Wang, to head up a new lab dedicated to advanced artificial intelligence.
In June, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said that Meta was aggressively hiring away his employees by offering signing bonuses as high as $100 million. Meta’s new AI team is largely made up of people who used to work at OpenAI and Anthropic.
Facebook’s parent company is struggling to retain new hires. A recent report shows that some employees have left the company after only a short time, even though they received substantial signing bonuses.
But a company memo appeared to downplay these concerns, and also showed the new AI department was being reorganized with no new hiring.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, remains dedicated to artificial intelligence despite the risks of an AI bubble. He recently acknowledged on the Access podcast that such a bubble is a real possibility, pointing out that some companies have previously expanded too quickly, failed, and wasted potentially useful resources (according to Business Insider).

Look, things haven’t gone perfectly with the metaverse so far, but I’m still all in. Honestly, I think *not* pushing forward now would be the real mistake. Zuckerberg’s right – the bigger danger is holding back.
While losing a couple of hundred billion dollars would be a serious setback, I believe the greater danger lies elsewhere.
Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg
I’m hearing from a Meta executive that they’re really worried about falling behind in the race to develop advanced AI. They believe if they don’t move quickly enough – and another company creates artificial superintelligence first – Meta could be at a major disadvantage when it comes to the future of technology. It’s a real concern about safety, privacy, and staying competitive.
Although it’s hard to predict exactly how AI will develop, Mark Zuckerberg believes that even if AI efforts don’t fully succeed, it won’t seriously harm Meta’s business. He stated, “We’re not at risk of going out of business.”
Unlike leading AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which rely on investments to drive their AI development, Meta operates differently. Meta’s AI work isn’t directly tied to investor expectations or AI performance because the company also generates revenue through other businesses, like advertising on Facebook.
