Alexandr Wang, once the youngest self-made billionaire in the world, has agreed to join Meta to work on AI “superintelligence,” leaving the startup that made him rich after dropping out of MIT. Alexandr Wang’s Scale AI just inked a $14.

Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg is bringing in Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to help the social media company better execute on its AI ambitions.

Google is planning to end its business relationship with Scale AI after its rival, Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: META), acquired a 49% stake in the AI data-labeling startup.

In a strategic move, Meta invests $14.3 billion in Scale AI, taking a 49 per cent stake in the data-labelling startup. Scale's CEO Alexandr Wang will play a key role in shaping Meta's AI future, particularly in superintelligence.

Zuckerberg is throwing pro-athlete-level salaries at top AI researchers. But for many, prestige, trust, and tribal loyalties matter more.

Scale AI Inc. says its founder and Chief Executive Alexandr Wang is leaving to join Meta Platforms Inc., after confirming that the social media giant has made a “significant” investment in the company.

In theory, that's because Mark Zuckerberg wants to secure Scale AI's data services. But this looks like an acquihire. Is Zuckerberg paying all that money just to hire cofounder Alexandr Wang?

Alexandr Wang, son of nuclear physicists, dropped out of MIT to co-found Scale AI, a company providing crucial data for AI development. Scale AI's rapid growth led to a $7 billion valuation, making Wang the world's youngest self-made billionaire.
