Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to acquire AI firm

The organization, owned by Zuckerberg and wife Dr. Priscilla Chan, announced on Monday it is acquiring AI firm Meta. The deal, which marks the organization's first acquisition, was purchased for an undisclosed amount. Meta uses AI to analyze millions of scientific papers and help scientists find relevant materials and patterns in data. The group plans to provide Meta's tools for free to all researchers. "Meta will help scientists learn from others' discoveries in real time, find key papers that may have gone unnoticed, or even predict where their field is headed," Cori Bargmann, president of science, and Brian Pinkerton, CTO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, wrote in a post on Facebook.
