Personnel: Yann LeCun at Meta AI (FAIR) (VP & Chief AI Scientist)
The source confirms that Yann LeCun joined Meta in 2013 and served as Chief AI Scientist leading FAIR. However, the source does not explicitly confirm the title 'VP & Chief AI Scientist' — it only mentions 'chief AI scientist'. The source states he 'served as Chief AI Scientist at Meta Platforms before leaving' (past tense), indicating he is no longer in that role as of the Wikipedia article's current state. The startDate of 2013 is confirmed, but the VP title is not explicitly mentioned in the source text provided, making this a partial confirmation.
