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.

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.

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.

Some people are unwittingly posting their private and sometimes mortifying conversations with the Meta AI chatbot to the world.

Launched in April, the Meta AI platform offers a “discover” feed that includes user queries containing medical, legal, and other seemingly sensitive information.

Mark Zuckerberg has reorganized his company’s ambitions around a hypothetical future that is suddenly the talk of Silicon Valley.

Alexandr Wang cofounded Scale AI. He's about to become a very expensive hire at Meta.

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.
