A recent report revealed that Meta has dismantled its Responsible AI (RAI) team, putting more of its resources into generative artificial intelligence, as the information published today citing an internal publication that I saw.
According to the report, most of the RAI members will move to the company’s generative AI product team, while others will work on Meta’s AI infrastructure, the company regularly says that it wants to develop AI responsibly, and has a page dedicated to this promise, where the company lists the “pillars of Responsible AI”, including accountability, transparency, safety, privacy and more.
The information report quotes John Carville, who represents meta, as saying that the company “will continue to prioritize and invest in the development of safe and responsible artificial intelligence”, and added that although the company is splitting the team, these members “will continue to support related efforts across meta on the development and use of responsible artificial intelligence”.
The team had already undergone a restructuring earlier this year, which Business Insider wrote involved layoffs leaving RAI a “team structure,” and this report went on to say that the RAI team, which had been around since 2019, had little autonomy and that its initiatives had to go through lengthy negotiations with stakeholders before they could be implemented.
