The hiring spree and restructuring come as pressure mounts on Zuckerberg to justify Meta's massive capital spend on AI infrastructure

Meta on Wednesday pushed back on reports that the Mark Zuckerberg-led company has offered as much as $300 million to poach talent from OpenAI in the battle for artificial intelligence supremacy.

Meta Platforms Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg announced a major restructuring of the company’s artificial intelligence group, including a commitment to developing AI “superintelligence,” or systems that can complete tasks as well as or even better than humans.
