Scale co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will lead Meta’s new superintelligence unit.

Meta is making a $14.3 billion investment in artificial intelligence company Scale and recruiting its CEO Alexandr Wang to join a team developing “superintelligence” at the tech giant.

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

Scale AI built its business on the labor of gig workers. But those workers likely won't benefit from their new deal with Meta.
