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?

The planned deal is part of a broader revamp of Meta’s AI leadership after its struggles to build the technology.

The social media giant is reportedly making a near-$15 billion bet on Scale, which specializes in RLHF-based data labeling and model evaluation services. Zuck is also pushing hard into the development of superintelligent systems that can outsmart humans.
