    Interesting choice, his prior experience doesn't seem AI related yet he's going to lead an AI strategy at Meta?

      Meta’s chief AI officer is a 29-30 year old who was acquihired as part of his data labelling company. He’s not a model developer.

      Meta hires in strange ways. I’m convinced it’s more about your sales pitch going in.

        Data is at the heart of AI training. Good data makes good models. Their chief AI officer understood this, which is why Facebook went crazy about collecting data. And it worked. Muse Spark is really good for its price.
