\"Meta Alexandr Wang, the head of Meta\u2019s artificial intelligence division \u2014 SuperIntelligence Labs has now gave a new statement on his plans of having kids. Speaking at The Shawn Rayan Show, Wang said that he wait until Elon Musk<\/a>\u2019s Neuralink or similar brain\u2011computer interface (BCI) technology is highly advanced before having children. Wang is of the opinion that child neuroplasticity offers the best window for adopting brain\u2011computer interfaces, and that future generations could grow up learning to use superintelligence tools intuitively. \u201cI\u2019ll have kids after Neuralink is very advanced, because children\u2019s brains in the first seven years are more flexible and can learn brain-computer interfaces, unlocking more potential than adult brains,\u201d said Wang.Elon Musk founded Neuralink is presently conducting clinical trials and is working at restoring mobility for patients with paralysis. Musk has long promoted the idea of expanding the technology to enhance human cognition. Wang\u2019s remarks highlight how some tech leaders see BCIs not just as medical tools, but as essential upgrades for future generations.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Alexandr Wang said about Elon Musk’s Neuralink<\/p>\n

\u201cBillionaire Alexandr Wang says he wants to wait to have kids until Neuralink is very advanced, because children\u2019s brains in the first seven years are more flexible and can learn brain-computer interfaces, unlocking more potential than adult brainsSpeaking on a podcast, Wang explained that he wants to wait until Neuralink or similar BCI technology is reliable and widely available. His reasoning is that children born into such a world could integrate the technology directly into their developing brains, rather than having to adapt to it later in lifeHe pointed to neuroplasticity, the brain\u2019s heightened ability to form neural connections in early childhood, arguing that during the first ~7 years, children could learn to use brain-computer interfaces in ways adults simply cannotAt a deeper level, Wang\u2019s comments reflect a broader concern: artificial intelligence is advancing at an exponential pace, while human biological evolution is slow. He suggests that direct neural links to AI may eventually be necessary for humans to remain cognitively competitive in a future shaped by superintelligence.\u201d <\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s Secret AI Army: Top Talent Hired from OpenAI, Google & More<\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s Superintelligence Lab is hiring in Singapore<\/p>\n

Meta Superintelligence Lab (MSL), the billion-dollar team that Mark Zuckerberg created to take on Google and OpenAI in artificial intelligence (AI), is hiring. Alexandr Wang, the head of the team and Chief AI officer of Meta, has announced that the company is hiring for its team in Singapore. This comes hours after the social media giant acquired Manus AI, a Singapore-based company working on AI agents.\u201cMSL is hiring in Singapore! We already have some amazing researchers and engineers there, buoyed now by the 100-strong Manus team, and we\u2019re growing fast,\u201d Wang said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cFeel free to DM with a resum\u00e9 if interested!,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In the memo, Alexandr Wang writes: \u201cIt’s never an easy decision to say goodbye to colleagues. These are talented people who have worked extremely hard and contributed to our Al effort. Anyone in North America whose role was impacted has already been notified. Those who may be impacted in EMEA have been notified and remain subject to consultation,\u201d Wang said.\u201cThis by no means signals any decrease in investment. In fact, we will continue to hire industry-leading Al-native talent. Our goal is to enable MSL to move faster. We remain excited about the models we are training, our ambitious compute plans, and the products we are building, and I’m confident in our path to superintelligence,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexandr Wang, the head of Meta\u2019s artificial intelligence division \u2014 SuperIntelligence Labs has now gave a new statement…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":346484,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,17005,733,4308,33818,995,33819,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-346483","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-alexandr-wang","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-brain-computer-interface","13":"tag-elon-musk","14":"tag-neuralink","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
