Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg personally recruits ‘Superintelligence’ AI team with nine-figure pay packages

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is personally recruiting a 50-person “superintelligence” team with compensation packages reaching nine figures, as the tech giant races to achieve AI that surpasses human intelligence. Bloomberg reports that Zuckerberg has been meeting with top AI researchers and engineers at his Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto homes, offering seven- to nine-figure pay deals to lure talent from competitors like OpenAI and Google.

The Facebook founder has rearranged desks at Meta’s Menlo Park headquarters so new team members will sit near him, signaling his hands-on approach to what he considers Meta’s most critical initiative.
