Meta Platforms is reportedly in discussions to hire former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman to enhance its AI initiatives. The company is also considering Daniel Gross, Friedman's partner, for a role in AI. Additionally, Meta is exploring a partial buyout of their investment fund, NFDG. This move follows Meta's recent $14.8 billion investment in Scale AI and the hiring of Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to lead a new superintelligence unit. Friedman currently serves on Meta's Advisory Group, which advises on technology and product development.
