Friedman is already part of Meta’s external Advisory Group, providing technology and product development input. On the other hand, Gross is the head of a $32 billion AI startup that Meta previously attempted to acquire but was rebuffed. If Meta sees the hires through, The Information details that the new additions will report to Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale AI. Scale AI recently became a part of Meta after the tech giant acquired a 49% stake worth $14.3 billion. These efforts are geared towards materializing a new unit at Meta called “superintelligence.”
