Meta AI pioneer LeCun announces exit, plans new startup

Yann LeCun, a leading figure in artificial intelligence and head of Meta's AI research lab, is set to leave the company at the end of 2025 to establish a new startup focused on advanced machine intelligence.
This departure marks a significant shift for Meta, as LeCun has been instrumental in shaping the company's AI initiatives over the past 12 years, and his exit raises questions about the future direction of Meta's AI strategy.
The leadership changes at Meta, including the recent exits of other key figures, reflect ongoing challenges within the company as it navigates a competitive landscape and seeks to enhance its AI capabilities.
