Joelle Pineau, Meta's VP of AI research, has announced her decision to leave the company after two years in charge of the AI lab, FAIR. Her exit is scheduled for May, coinciding with Meta's ambitious $65 billion investment in AI infrastructure for 2025. A Meta spokesperson confirmed that there is no immediate successor for Pineau, although a search is underway. Pineau plans to take some time off before pursuing a new opportunity. This leadership change comes as Meta intensifies its focus on artificial intelligence.
