Mark Zuckerberg Makes Bold AI Push, Offers ₹860 Crore Salary to Lure Top Talent

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is aggressively recruiting top AI talent globally, personally messaging researchers and offering packages up to $100 million (₹860 crore). Aiming to build a new “Superintelligence” lab, Zuckerberg has approached notable names from OpenAI and other firms, even offering to acquire startups. This hiring spree follows Meta’s recent AI setbacks and concerns about falling behind rivals like Google and OpenAI. However, internal leadership confusion and differing AI visions, especially from Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, are causing hesitation among candidates. Despite competition from rivals like OpenAI, Zuckerberg remains committed, promising top resources and funding for AI innovation.
