Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent acquisitions and hires in artificial intelligence have sparked major friction inside the social media giant — with new, mega-buck AI talent clashing with the company’s veteran researchers, according to a report.

Alexandr Wang — the 28-year-old billionaire who ran Scale AI before Meta “acquihired” him as chief AI officer for more than $14 billion — is clashing with longtime engineers in a tense standoff that’s roiling Zuckerberg’s AI division, according to the New York Times.

Shengjia Zhao — the OpenAI researcher who co-created ChatGPT and who was named Meta’s chief AI scientist in July — has likewise been grilling longtime Meta employees about their past work as they interview for new roles in the restructured organization, according to the report.

Researchers have been lining up outside Zhao’s office in recent weeks as the former OpenAI star conducts these assessments, one person told the publication.

Wang’s arrival, meanwhile, has created friction over Meta’s fundamental approach to AI development, with his superintelligence team pushing to make the company’s next model “closed” — keeping its technology secret.
