Recently, it was announced that Meta will have a new head of its artificial intelligence division — Alexander Wang.
We recently reported that the company is undergoing a radical overhaul of its AI development department, personally overseen by Mark Zuckerberg. Today, it was revealed that the leader of the new division will be a young and highly ambitious entrepreneur — billionaire Alexander Wang.
This individual is the founder of Scale AI. Unlike traditional researchers, Wang is more of a businessman and strategist, possessing exceptional talent. He is only 28 years old and has already created a company valued at multiple billions of dollars, confidently manages it, and is actively recruiting top engineers in the industry.
To bring Alexander on board at Meta, the company is purchasing 49% of Scale AI’s shares from him for $15 billion. Forget about footballers — the stakes here are much higher.
