Meta offered a 250 million dollar deal to a 24-year-old AI specialist

As competition in the field of artificial intelligence intensifies, young specialists are becoming increasingly important for technology companies. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Recently, according to information published in The New York Times, Meta has offered a contract worth 250 million dollars for four years to 24-year-old artificial intelligence specialist Matt Deitke. Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg personally reached out to Deitke, inviting him to join the company's new research project called "superintelligence."

This project aims to create artificial intelligence with capabilities surpassing human intelligence. However, Matt Deitke is currently managing his own startup, which is why he is considering the offer seriously.

Initially, Meta's offer was 125 million dollars, but the young specialist considered this amount insufficient and declined. Later, the offer was doubled to 250 million dollars.

Under the new terms, it is said that Deitke could receive 100 million dollars in the first year. According to sources, Deitke struggled to make a decision because he had never seen such a large sum and sought help from his relatives and advisors.

After several days of discussions, he decided to accept the contract. The process of attracting artificial intelligence specialists in 2025 resembles transfers in sports.

Large companies like Meta, Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI are actively adding each other's specialists to their ranks. Job offers are being announced online like sports contracts.

This situation indicates that competition in the field is increasing and the value of specialists is rising.
