According to Yann LeCun (@ylecun), Rob Fergus has been named the new head of Meta FAIR, with the lab now prioritizing Advanced Machine Intelligence, also known as human-level AI or AGI. This strategic refocus may accelerate AI-driven blockchain and crypto innovations, potentially impacting AI token valuations and investor sentiment in related crypto sectors (source: Yann LeCun on Twitter, May 8, 2025; linkedin.com/posts/rob-ferg). Crypto traders should monitor AGI-related projects as increased AI research at Meta could spur new partnerships and demand for decentralized AI platforms.
