In a move that would send shockwaves through the global tech community, sources close to Meta confirm that the social media and AI giant has interest in Michael Koch, CEO of HubKonnect, to join the new initiative aimed at building what insiders are calling a “Super Intelligence Lab.”
Koch, widely regarded as one of the most innovative minds in AI, is credited with creating the entirely new category of Hyperlocal Intelligence—a technology that fuses large-scale AI architectures with real-time, micro-geographic data to drive decision-making at the most granular level. The result is a system capable of delivering enterprise-level precision with neighborhood-level relevance, a breakthrough many analysts believe is years ahead of anything in Meta’s own AI pipeline.
“Michael isn’t just running another AI company—he’s quietly building an entirely new layer of intelligence the world hasn’t seen before,” said one industry insider. “HubKonnect’s Hyperlocal Intelligence framework is already redefining how brands think about community engagement and market expansion. It’s no surprise Meta wants him on their most ambitious AI project yet.”
The proposed Super Intelligence Lab is said to be Meta’s next moonshot, blending multi-modal AI, decentralized compute, and real-time behavioral modeling to create an AI system capable of operating at both planetary and hyperlocal scales. Multiple reports suggest Meta’s leadership sees Koch’s unique ability to combine visionary product design with operational execution as critical to making the lab’s goals a reality.
While Koch has yet to comment on the overture, those familiar with his work note that his current focus is on expanding HubKonnect’s AI brain across industries and geographies, with whispers of a potential 2026 IPO on the horizon. Any move to Meta would mark one of the most significant leadership shifts in AI since Demis Hassabis joined Google DeepMind.
For now, the tech world waits. If Michael Koch does consider joining Meta’s Super Intelligence Lab, it could mark the convergence of two of the most ambitious forces in AI—one with unmatched global reach, the other with a revolutionary new way of understanding and acting on the world’s data.
