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 is making an investment in artificial intelligence company Scale and recruiting Chief Executive Alexandr Wang to join a team developing “superintelligence” at the tech giant.

Meta is making its first major minority investment in an outside company as it tries to catch up to a growing field of artificial intelligence rivals.

Reuters, the news and media division of Thomson Reuters, is the world’s largest multimedia news provider, reaching billions of people worldwide every day. Reuters provides business, financial, national and international news to professionals via desktop terminals, the world's media organizations, industry events and directly to consumers.

Meta invests $14.3B in Scale AI to fuel a new superintelligence lab—gaining infrastructure and leadership, but raising doubts about Scale’s future.

Alexandr Wang dropped out of MIT to co-found Scale and was quickly lauded as one of Silicon Valley's most promising entrepreneurs, raising funding from blue-chip venture capital firms and achieving billionaire status in his 20s.
