Meta Recruits AI Safety Expert Dawn Song to Bolster Superintelligence

Song will lead efforts to ensure that next-generation models are secure, trustworthy, and beneficial. She is bringing several members of her Virtue AI team—including co-founders Bo Li and Sanmi Koyejo—to Meta. The group previously focused on automated red teaming, runtime guardrails, and AI governance, expertise that Meta intends to leverage as it integrates agentic systems across its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The hiring underscores Meta's pivot toward securing agentic AI, which can independently use tools and execute tasks across various software environments. By integrating a specialist known for her work in confidential computing and privacy-preserving applications, Meta is positioning itself to address the risks inherent in large-scale AI deployment. Despite the high-profile nature of the hire, the market performance of the Oasis Network's ROSE token remains largely unmoved, trading near its record lows of approximately $0.0059 following the announcement.
