Meta is reportedly investing billions in Scale AI and bringing its CEO Alexandr Wang onboard to lead a new AI team. Is that enough?

Meta in Talks to Invest Billions in Scale AI Scale AI, an artificial intelligence start-up, has built a business by labeling and culling data to make it easier to use to train A.I. systems.

Meta Platforms has agreed to take a 49% stake in artificial intelligence startup Scale AI for $14.8 billion, The Information reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the matter.

Meta’s deal to sort-of but not really acquire AI startup Scale, giving it 49% ownership, is certainly unusual.
