Zuckerberg poached CEO of Safe Superintelligence after Sutskever’s refusal

Mark Zuckerberg has launched a large-scale campaign to attract key specialists in artificial intelligence. And for this he uses different methods.

After investing 14 billion dollars in Scale AI and poaching its founder Alexander Wang, the Meta head targeted the company Safe Superintelligence. This startup, which former OpenAI technical director Ilya Sutskever founded just a year ago. And which is currently valued at 32 billion dollars.

The attempt to acquire the company entirely was not successful – Sutskever declined the offer. Then Zuckerberg instantly changed tactics and began negotiations with Safe Superintelligence CEO Daniel Gross, who together with former GitHub head Nat Friedman manages the venture fund NFDG.

As a result, Gross and Friedman are joining the Meta team and will work on products under the leadership of recently hired Wang from Scale AI. Simultaneously, Zuckerberg receives a share in their venture fund, opening access to a flow of promising projects at early stages. As well as to their insider information.
