Meta Platforms has finalized an investment in Scale AI that values the startup at over $29 billion, Scale AI said on Thursday.
Scale CEO and co-founder Alexandr Wang will join Meta to work on its AI efforts, with Scale’s chief strategy officer, Jason Droege, to serve as its interim CEO, Scale AI added.
Two sources familiar with the matter said that Meta’s investment in Scale AI is $14.3 billion. The sources said that Wang will join a new “superintelligence” unit inside Meta to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), a term that refers to machines that can match or surpass human capabilities.
