Meta's $14 billion investment in Scale AI set off a flurry of dealmaking in the AI data industry, as Meta's rivals cut ties with Scale for other data companies

Despite the $14.3 billion investment that is shaking up the AI landscape, OpenAI's CFO says the company plans to keep working with Scale AI.

The negotiations started as just one billionaire tech founder talking to another. Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg approached Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang in mid-April about a potentially industry-shaking deal.

Staying in the AI race is crucial for Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft, with the technology likely to be the future for the industry.

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.

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.

Google and other big tech companies are rethinking their ties with Scale AI. This follows Meta's significant investment in the data-labeling startup. Concerns arise that Meta could gain insights into rivals' AI strategies.
