UC Berkeley professor and Oasis Labs founder Dawn Song has joined Meta Superintelligence Labs as vice president of AI research, where she will help lead Meta’s AI safety and AI security efforts. Song announced the move in a post on X on June 25, 2026, stating that several members of the Virtue AI team will also join Meta. Axios reported that Virtue AI co-founders Bo Li and Sanmi Koyejo are among the hires. Song said her work at Meta will focus on frontier AI models and agentic AI systems, writing that AI must be “secure, trustworthy, and beneficial.” Virtue AI was founded in 2024 to build tools for trustworthy AI, working on AI security, agent security, benchmarks and open platforms. Meta’s interest comes as AI labs put more attention on agent safety. Song is also known in crypto as the founder of Oasis Labs, which raised $45m in 2018 to build privacy-first cloud computing on blockchain, with backers including a16zcrypto, Accel and Binance Labs. ROSE remains near record lows, showing Song’s AI move has not revived Oasis token demand.
