Meta Disbanded Its Responsible AI Team

Meta has reportedly disbanded its Responsible AI team, moving members to other AI product and infrastructure groups within the company.

The details:

Meta says it remains committed to developing AI responsibly and safely, but the dedicated team was dissolved.

Most Responsible AI members will join Meta's generative AI product team, with others moving to work on AI infrastructure.

The Responsible AI team had already seen shake ups during the the company’s restructuring and layoffs earlier this year.

The relevance: If there was ever a weekend to bury some negative AI news, it was this one. With all eyes on the Altman, Meta’s move flew under the radar — and comes during a time of heightened discourse over safety vs. acceleration.
