01:08 PM EDT, 04/01/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Meta Platforms' ( META ) head of AI research, Joelle Pineau, is planning to leave the company, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

"Today, as the world undergoes significant change, as the race for AI accelerates, and as Meta prepares for its next chapter, it is time to create space for others to pursue the work," Pineau said in a post on Facebook.

Pineau, who leads Meta's Fundamental AI Research group, reports to Chris Cox, chief product officer, Bloomberg said.

The exit leaves a high-level vacancy as Meta seeks to invest and compete in AI, Bloomberg said.

Meta is looking for Pineau's successor, the report said.

Meta didn't immediately respond to a comment request from MT Newswires.
