After poaching the head of Apple's AI department, Meta hired two more core experts.

Meta Platforms Inc. has hired two core artificial intelligence researchers who previously worked at Apple. Not long ago, the company had just poached the former bosses of these two individuals from the iPhone manufacturer. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that this social networking giant has hired Mark Lee and Tom Gant to join its "Super Intelligence Lab" team. Since the hiring has not been made public yet, these sources requested anonymity. They stated that Mark Lee has recently joined Meta after leaving Apple, while Tom Gant will be joining in the near future. These moves are a reflection of the fierce competition for artificial intelligence talent in the tech industry. Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, is particularly aggressive in recruitment. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has placed artificial intelligence as the company's top priority, investing heavily in employees and data centers to keep up with competitors such as OpenAI and Google.
