Meta’s Superintelligence Dream Team Will Be Management Challenge of the Century

Meta (formerly Facebook) has assembled a team of prominent AI researchers, dubbed the "superintelligence dream team," to work on developing advanced artificial intelligence. However, research suggests that putting together a group of highly talented individuals can be a significant management challenge. Decades of studies have shown that teams with too many geniuses can face issues such as lack of collaboration, infighting, and difficulties in reaching consensus. The personality traits and egos of such individuals can create tensions and hinder the overall productivity of the group. Experts warn that Meta's ambitious goal of creating transformative AI may be hindered by the inherent challenges of managing a team of exceptional minds. Striking the right balance between individual brilliance and effective teamwork will be crucial for the company's success in this endeavor. The article highlights the potential pitfalls of assembling a "dream team" of AI experts and the need for Meta to carefully navigate the management and organizational aspects of this high-profile project.
