Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta bets big on Scale AI: Who is Alexander Wang, the 28-year-old MIT dropout behind the startup?

Meta Platforms has invested in US-based firm Scale AI in a deal that values the data-labelling startup at $29 billion. After the deal, Jason Droege will serve as the interim CEO of the AI firm.

Meta’s stake in the startup will give its 28-year-old CEO, Alexandr Wang, an opportunity to play a prominent role in the tech giant’s artificial intelligence strategy.
