Joëlle Pineau, vice president of artificial intelligence research at Meta, announced that she will leave in May this year, ending her supervisory position at the FAIR Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, led by French computer scientist and Meta's leading artificial intelligence scientist Yann LeCun, which she has held for more than two years.
After leaving Meta, Joëlle Pineau said she would take a break for a while before continuing to work on new things.
Prior to joining Meta, Joëlle Pineau was a faculty member at the Montreal Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Quebec, Canada, and a professor and William Dawson Scholar in the School of Computer Science at McGill University. She joined Facebook's AI lab in Montreal in 2017, which was then Facebook.
Joëlle Pineau's departure comes at a time when Meta plans to invest $2025 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure by 650, and Meta has not yet found a suitable successor to Joëlle Pineau.
