Meta creating new AI lab to pursue ‘superintelligence'
10 June 2025 23:12 SAN FRANCISCO (THE NEW YORK TIMES NEW SERVICE)Meta is preparing to unveil a new artificial intelligence research lab dedicated to pursuing "superintelligence,' a hypothetical AI system that exceeds the powers of the human brain, as the tech giant jockeys to stay competitive in the technology has tapped Alexandr Wang, 28, the founder and CEO of AI startup Scale AI, to join the new lab, sources said, and has been in talks to invest billions of dollars in his company as part of a deal that would also bring other Scale AI employees to the has reportedly offered seven- to nine-figure compensation packages to dozens of researchers from leading AI companies such as OpenAI and Google, with some agreeing to join, sources new lab is part of a larger reorganisation of Meta's AI Zuckerberg, Meta's CEO, has invested billions of dollars into turning his company, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, into an AI OpenAI released the ChatGPT chatbot in 2022, the tech industry has raced to build increasingly powerful AI. Zuckerberg has pushed his company to incorporate AI across its products, including in its smart glasses and a recently released app, Meta in the race is crucial for Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft, with the technology likely to be the future for the industry. The giants have pumped money into startups and their own AI has invested more than $13 billion in OpenAI, while Amazon has plowed $8 billion into AI startup behemoths have also spent billions to hire employees from high-profile startups and license their technology. Last year, Google agreed to pay $3 billion to license technology and hire technologists and executives from a startup that builds chatbots for personal February, Zuckerberg, 41, called AI "potentially one of the most important innovations in history.' He added, "This year is going to set the course for the future.'Meta and Scale AI declined to comment. Bloomberg earlier reported that Wang was joining the new Meta is regarded by leading researchers to be a futuristic goal of AI Google and others have said their immediate aim is to build "artificial general intelligence,' or AGI, shorthand for a machine that can do anything the human brain can do, which is an ambition with no clear path to success. Superintelligence, if it can be developed, would go beyond AGI in its has invested in AI for more than a decade. Zuckerberg created the company's first dedicated AI lab in 2013, after losing out to Google in trying to acquire a seminal startup called DeepMind. DeepMind is now the core of Google's AI then, Meta's research efforts have been overseen by its chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, who is also a New York University professor. LeCun is a pioneer of neural networks, the technology that drives ChatGPT and similar ChatGPT caused an explosion of interest in AI, Meta deployed additional resources to pursue the technology. One of Meta's strategies for gaining ground in AI has been to "open source' its software, essentially giving away its AI code freely so that developers and others adopt its tools. The company released an open-source AI model, Llama, and its chatbot product, Meta AI was incorporated across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, as well as in its Ray-Ban smart glasses. In May, Zuckerberg said more than 1 billion people used Meta AI every month.

France's Mistral unveils its first 'reasoning' AI model
10 June 2025 23:31 PARIS (AFP)French artificial intelligence startup Mistral on Tuesday announced a so-called "reasoning" model it said was capable of working through complex problems, following in the footsteps of top US immediately on the company's platforms as well as the AI platform Hugging Face, the Magistral "is designed to think things through -- in ways familiar to us," Mistral said in a blog AI was designed for "general purpose use requiring longer thought processing and better accuracy" than its previous generations of large language models (LLMs), the company other "reasoning" models, Magistral displays a so-called "chain of thought" that purports to show how the system is approaching a problem given to it in natural means users in fields like law, finance, healthcare and government would receive "traceable reasoning that meets compliance requirements" as "every conclusion can be traced back through its logical steps", Mistral company's claim gestures towards the challenge of so-called "interpretability" -- working out how AI systems arrive at a given they are "trained" on gigantic corpuses of data rather than directly programmed by humans, much behaviour by AI systems remains impenetrable even to their also vaunted improved performance in software coding and creative writing by "reasoning" models include OpenAI's o3, some versions of Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude, or Chinese challenger DeepSeek's idea that AIs can "reason" was called into question this week by Apple -- the tech giant that has struggled to match achievements by leaders in the field. Several Apple researchers published a paper called "The Illusion of Thinking" that claimed to find "fundamental limitations in current models" which "fail to develop generalizable reasoning capabilities beyond certain complexity thresholds".

UAE ranks first for AI maturity in Arab world, report says
The UAE ranks first in the Arab world in a new AI Maturity Index that examines country readiness for artificial intelligence, according to a new report from online learning platform Coursera. The 2025 Global Skills Report said the country's recent announcement of a UAE-US 5GW AI Campus - unveiled during US President Donald Trump's visit in May, along with the decision by UAE schools to begin teaching mandatory AI classes from age four - helped propel it to to the top in various areas of the report. 'The UAE is rapidly scaling AI learning and infrastructure to drive workforce transformation and regional innovation,' said Kais Zribi, Coursera's manager for Middle East and North Africa. 'Its strong performance on Coursera 's AI Maturity Index, combined with high rankings in overall skills proficiency, demonstrates the country's growing ability to close skill gaps, nurture future talent, and lead in AI readiness.' For AI maturity globally, the UAE ranked 32nd out of 109 countries, according to Coursera. Saudi Arabia ranked 37th place and Qatar placed 45th. Singapore, Denmark, Switzerland, the US and Finland ranked in the top five. In terms of overall AI skills proficiency, the UAE also ranked top in the Arab world. Coursera's report also said that with a 344 per cent increase in AI course enrolment compared to last year, the UAE outpaced the Middle East and North Africa regional average, as well as the global average AI courses selected on the company's learning platform. 'As digital transformation reshapes industries, the UAE is setting a powerful example of how nations can leverage education to build a competitive, inclusive digital economy that prepares its workforce for the future,' said Mr Zribi. Towards the end of last year, a similar report from Coursera projected that UAE interest in AI courses was on the path to grow significantly. Coursera's data for its 2025 Global Skills Report is based in part on the company's stats from its learning platform, along with 'third-party metrics to ensure a more comprehensive assessment, complementing the insights provided by Coursera data'. For the AI Maturity Index, data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is used as well. Over the past decade, the UAE − the Arab world's second largest economy − has been open about its desire to be an AI front-runner as it diversifies its economy away from oil. The country's efforts have resulted in the establishment of start-ups as well as partnerships and investments from industry leaders like Microsoft, Nvidia and OpenAI. Through the creation of language models such as Falcon Arabic, the UAE has also sought to ensure aspects of Arabic culture are not left behind by the AI surge, with many large language models based on English-language data.
