Meta reportedly has shown interest in Michael Koch, CEO of HubKonnect, to join a new initiative dubbed the “Super Intelligence Lab,” according to sources familiar with the matter. The move signals Meta’s ambition to push into the next frontier of artificial intelligence by combining large-scale AI capabilities with real-time, hyperlocal data modeling.
Koch is recognized as the creator of Hyperlocal Intelligence, a technology that merges expansive AI architectures with micro-geographic data streams to deliver insights at the neighborhood level. This approach enables precise, community-specific decision-making while maintaining enterprise-level scope. Industry analysts say the system is years ahead of Meta’s current AI offerings.
“Michael isn’t just running another AI company—he’s building an entirely new layer of intelligence,” said one industry insider. “HubKonnect’s Hyperlocal Intelligence is already transforming how brands engage with communities and expand into new markets. It’s no surprise Meta wants him to lead their most ambitious AI project to date.”
The proposed Super Intelligence Lab is expected to integrate multi-modal AI, decentralized computing infrastructure, and real-time behavioral modeling to create a system capable of operating at both global and hyperlocal levels. Sources suggest Meta sees Koch’s blend of visionary product design, leadership, and operational execution as critical to achieving the lab’s goals.
Koch has not publicly addressed the reported interest. He is currently focused on expanding HubKonnect’s AI systems into new industries and regions, with speculation of a 2026 IPO. If Koch were to accept the position, it would mark one of the most significant leadership changes in AI since Demis Hassabis joined Google DeepMind. The potential collaboration could unite Meta’s global reach with HubKonnect’s revolutionary approach to real-time, localized AI decision-making.
