AMD says Fei-Fei Li will become EVP and chief scientist when World Labs deal closes

AMD's World Labs release says Dr. Fei-Fei Li will join AMD as executive vice president and chief scientist, reporting to CEO Lisa Su. The role takes effect only if the roughly $8.2 billion all-stock acquisition closes, which AMD expects by the end of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals. For traders it is a senior hire tied to the deal rather than a change in current management.

• Title on close: executive vice president and chief scientist
• Reports directly to Dr. Lisa Su
