Meta’s highest paid employee Alexandr Wang ‘admits’ the company’s previous AI policy didn’t work

Meta’s Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang has admitted that the company’s open-source AI playbook no longer fits its frontier models, with Muse Spark kept proprietary after early training flagged bio risk and other safety concerns. Wang says rival AI labs are seeing the same risks scale up. Meanwhile, Meta is testing subscriptions on Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and its AI chatbot to diversify beyond ads.
