Meta<\/a> is reportedly reconfiguring its AI efforts, the fourth such restructuring in six months.<\/p>\n

The tech giant\u2019s new artificial intelligence (AI) unit, Meta Superintelligence Labs, is expected to be divided into four groups, The Information reported<\/a> Saturday (Aug. 16), citing sources familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

Those sources say the four groups include a new lab known as \u201cTBD Lab,\u201d as in \u201cto be determined,\u201d as well as a team focused on products such as the Meta AI Assistant. There is also a team centered around infrastructure and Meta\u2019s Fundamental AI Research lab, which focuses on longer-term research.<\/p>\n

PYMNTS has contacted Meta for comment but has not yet gotten a reply.<\/p>\n

The report noted that these changes come amid a turbulent time for Meta\u2019s AI efforts, with the company recently spending billions<\/a> of dollars to recruit former Scale AI<\/a> CEO Alexandr Wang<\/a> and former GitHub<\/a> CEO Nat Friedman<\/a> to co-head Meta Superintelligence Labs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the same time, Meta has been on a hiring spree<\/a>, onboarding dozens of experts from competitors such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.<\/p>\n

Sources tell The Information that veterans of those tech giants will be involved in the new four-quadrant AI project. For example, Jack Rae<\/a>, who joined Meta from Google, is expected to oversee pretraining, in which AI models learn to predict text from trillions of words gleaned from the internet and other sources.<\/p>\n

In related news, Meta recently faced criticism over the privacy practices<\/a> surrounding its AI assistant. A report earlier this month from CPO Magazine said that the tool may publicly share user prompts, and its apps may have exploited a technical loophole that lets it track Android users without their knowledge.<\/p>\n

Consumers already have privacy-related worries surrounding generative AI. Research from the PYMNTS Intelligence report \u201cGeneration AI: Why Gen Z Bets Big and Boomers Hold Back\u201d<\/a> shows that 36% of generative AI users are nervous about these platforms sharing or misusing their personal information, while 33% of non-users have avoided adopting the technology due to the same hesitations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, PYMNTS wrote last week about the hesitancy among some businesses to adopt AI, a reluctance often driven by cost concerns. Research by PYMNTS Intelligence shows that 46.7% of firms<\/a> point to adoption costs as a chief concern.<\/p>\n

The cost of the models has dropped since 2022, but the overall cost of ownership<\/a> \u201chas been resistant to declines,\u201d said Muath Juady<\/a>, founder of SearchQ.AI. \u201cThe real expenses lie in the hidden infrastructure, including data engineering teams, security compliance, constant model monitoring, and integration architects necessary to connect AI with existing systems.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta is reportedly reconfiguring its AI efforts, the fourth such restructuring in six months.
