Meta’s vice president of AI research will leave the company
- Joelle Pineau, Meta’s vice president of AI research will leave the company.
- She has been with Meta for eight years and head of Meta’s Fundamental AI Research group (FAIR) since 2023.
- FAIR focuses on long-term AI goals unlike the GenAI team which is responsible for the current generative AI products.
- Last year, Meta reorganized its AI teams to put Pineau and Chief AI Scientist, Yann LeCun closer to the product division, a decision meant to speed up the process of getting FAIR’s research into the company’s products.
