New York, June 18 (EFE).- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that his employees have received offers from Meta of $100 million bonuses to leave the company and join Meta, at a time of great competition for artificial intelligence strategies, but that “for now” none of them have accepted.<\/p>\n
“Meta started making huge offers to a lot of people on our team,” Altman stated on the Uncapped podcast, which aired on Tuesday and was hosted by his brother.<\/p>\n
In the program, Altman detailed that Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp’s parent company offered “$100 million hiring bonuses” and that Meta considered them “their biggest competitor.”<\/p>\n
“At least, so far, none of our best employees have decided to accept the offer,” declared the company executive behind ChatGPT.<\/p>\n
Altman noted that Meta’s efforts to advance in the artificial intelligence (AI) race “haven’t worked as well as they hoped” and that’s why the tech giant is opting for a more “aggressive” tactic, something he said he respects.<\/p>\n
“There are many things I respect about Meta as a company, but I don’t think it’s a company that stands out for its innovation,” the executive added.<\/p>\n
Last week, Meta announced it will pay $14.3 billion to acquire 49% of the startup Scale AI and hire its CEO, Alexandr Wang.<\/p>\n
As part of the agreement, Wang – who 7 years ago, at 21, became the youngest billionaire in the world – will report directly to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and will remain on the Scale board of directors. In addition, according to specialized media, Wang will lead a new AI lab at Meta, in charge of developing “superintelligence”.<\/p>\n
The New York Times notes that Meta has offered multimillion-dollar figures to dozens of researchers from leading AI companies like OpenAI and Google, and that several have already agreed to join.<\/p>\n
According to the specialized press, Zuckerberg’s goal is to create a new “superintelligence” team dedicated to building the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) platform, a hypothetical AI system that surpasses the capabilities of the human brain.<\/p>\n
OpenAI, Google, and other tech companies have already announced that their goal is to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), a machine that for now is only fiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
