Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Friday that artificial intelligence researcher Shengjia Zhao will serve as chief scientist of the company’s newly formed Superintelligence Labs.
Zuckerberg said in a post on Threads Friday that Zhao, the co-creator of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, will serve as the chief scientist of Meta Superintelligence Labs. The appointment makes official a role Zhao has been performing since joining Meta in June.
“In this role, Shengjia will set the research agenda and scientific direction for our new lab working directly with me and Alex,” Zuckerberg wrote, referring to Alexandr Wang, Meta’s chief AI officer and former CEO of Scale AI.
Zhao brings extensive experience from OpenAI, where he helped build OpenAI’s GPT-4, mini models, 4.1 and o3, and he previously led synthetic data at OpenAI. Zuckerberg noted in his post that Zhao has pioneered several breakthroughs, including a “new scaling paradigm” related to OpenAI’s reasoning model o1.
The appointment comes as Meta restructures its AI operations around the new Superintelligence Labs. The company has been aggressively recruiting AI talent from competitors, particularly OpenAI. Meta is spending billions of dollars to hire key employees as it looks to jumpstart its effort and compete with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and other tech giants in the artificial intelligence race.
Zuckerberg said earlier this month the social media company will invest “hundreds of billions of dollars” into AI compute infrastructure to support its superintelligence ambitions. The lab’s mission is to develop what Zuckerberg has described as “personal superintelligence” accessible to everyone.
“Shengjia co-founded the new lab and has been our lead scientist from day one,” Zuckerberg said in his announcement.
