Mark Zuckerberg's biggest bet on Meta AI will ride on the back of a fellow dropout who has dazzled Silicon Valley over the last decade.

Scale AI plans to use the proceeds from Meta's investment to drive innovation and deepen relationships with key customers.

Meta has reportedly invested billions of dollars into AI startup Scale AI and hired its CEO, Alexandr Wang, to lead a new AI research lab. So what does that mean for Meta and the rest of the AI ecosystem?

Alexandr Wang finds himself at the centre of a potential $15 billion shake-up as Meta looks to regain its competitive edge. But is artificial superintelligence the answer?

Meta is investing heavily in Scale AI, valuing the startup at over $29 billion, to accelerate its AI ambitions. This move brings Scale AI's 28-year-old CEO, Alexandr Wang, to the forefront of Meta's new research lab focused on creating artificial superintelligence.

Mark Zuckerberg is hand-picking top researchers and engineers to join an upcoming AI research lab dedicated to “superintelligence," and Scale AI's Alexandr Wang is on the list.
