**[Meta Chief AI Scientist Resigns, Company Accelerates AI Strategy Restructuring]** According to a report by *Jinse Finance*, citing the *Financial Times*, Meta's Chief Artificial Intelligence Scientist Yann LeCun is planning to leave the social media giant to start his own startup, as Mark Zuckerberg seeks to overhaul the company's AI operations. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that LeCun, a Turing Award winner and considered one of the pioneers of modern AI, has informed colleagues that he will leave the Silicon Valley group in the coming months. One insider stated that the French-American scientist is still in the early stages of negotiations to raise funds for his new venture. LeCun's departure marks the latest in a series of resignations, leadership changes, and organizational restructurings at Meta during a turbulent year. In May, Joelle Pineau, Vice President of AI Research, resigned and recently joined Canadian AI startup Cohere. Last month, the company also laid off approximately 600 employees from its AI research division to cut costs, eliminate bureaucracy, and accelerate product launches.
