Data-labeling firm Scale AI confirmed on Friday that it has received a "significant" investment from Meta that values the startup at $29 billion.

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.

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.

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.

As Alexandr Wang, the 28-year-old founder of Scale AI, prepares to take on a new role at Meta leading its superintelligence initiatives, he's also thinking about how to integrate superintelligence into the next generation.

Tech mogul Alexandr Wang says he won’t have kids until brain chips like Neuralink are ready. Believing childhood neuroplasticity offers the best window for adopting superintelligence, Wang envisions a future where children learn to use brain-computer interfaces intuitively.
