Meta's new lab is working on human-like AI

Technology Sep 19, 2025

Meta has launched the Superintelligence Lab, aiming to create AI that can actually think and learn like humans.
Mark Zuckerberg is shaking things up with a small, highly selective team and no traditional deadlines or layers of management—hoping this freedom sparks real breakthroughs toward artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Zuckerberg's hands-on approach

The lab has just 50-100 researchers, and everyone's role really matters.
Zuckerberg compared their spots to "precious seats on a boat"—if someone slacks, it affects the whole crew.
He's even moved closer to the team himself, staying hands-on so he can help solve problems fast.
