Meta has reportedly shown interest in Michael Koch, CEO of HubKonnect, to lead its ambitious new venture, the “Super Intelligence Lab,” according to sources close to the matter. The project is seen as Meta’s latest attempt to push the boundaries of AI by integrating massive computational systems with precise, neighborhood-level data processing.

Koch, the innovator behind Hyperlocal Intelligence, has built a platform that combines expansive AI architectures with real-time, location-specific information. This technology allows organizations to make targeted, local decisions without sacrificing enterprise-scale oversight. Experts say Koch’s approach is significantly ahead of Meta’s current AI capabilities.

“Michael isn’t just running another AI company—he’s creating a new layer of intelligence entirely,” said one industry insider. “HubKonnect’s Hyperlocal Intelligence has already transformed how brands engage communities and expand their reach. It makes perfect sense for Meta to want him at the helm of such a visionary project.”

The proposed Super Intelligence Lab aims to blend multi-modal AI, decentralized computing, and live behavioral modeling into a system that operates seamlessly at both global and hyperlocal levels. Sources suggest Meta believes Koch’s mix of innovative design thinking and strong operational execution is key to bringing the concept to life.

Koch has not issued a public statement about the talks. Currently, he is focused on broadening HubKonnect’s AI platform into new markets and sectors, amid speculation of a potential 2026 IPO. If he joins Meta, the move could represent one of the most significant leadership changes in AI since Demis Hassabis became part of Google DeepMind, uniting Meta’s global infrastructure with HubKonnect’s pioneering localized intelligence framework.
