Meta invests in AI firm Scale and recruits its CEO for 'superintelligence' team

Meta said Thursday it is making a large investment in artificial intelligence company Scale and recruiting its CEO Alexandr Wang to join a team developing “superintelligence” at the tech giant. The move reflects a push by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to revive AI efforts at the parent company of Facebook and Instagram as it faces tough competition from competitors such as Google and OpenAI. Meta announced what it called a “strategic partnership and investment” with Scale late Thursday but didn't disclose the financial terms of the deal.
