Dawn Song, the UC Berkeley professor who founded the privacy-preserving Oasis blockchain, has joined Meta Superintelligence Labs as Vice President of AI Research, according to the original report. Song will lead AI Safety and AI Security at the lab, alongside several core members from Virtue AI who are also making the move. The appointment shifts one of crypto’s most credentialed researchers into the heart of big-tech AI, while her blockchain project’s native token sits at $0.006 — 99% below its all-time high of $0.596.
The timing sharpens a contrast that has been building all year. Oasis Labs raised $45 million in 2018 from heavyweight backers including a16z Crypto, Accel, Binance Labs, Pantera, and Polychain, pitching a blockchain that could run confidential smart contracts.
