Competition and investment in artificial intelligence (AI) technology development is increasing among the world's largest technology companies. Adding to the atmosphere, Facebook's parent company, Meta, recently announced a $14.3 billion investment in AI at scale.
With the company's decision to purchase 49 percent ownership of the company that provides data curation and dataset management services, the 28-year-old founder of the company, Alexander Wang, has been discussed .
Wang is now set to head Meta's new 'superintelligence' unit. This announcement has sharply increased the demand of competing companies of Scale AI, while Google, OpenAI and others are going to break ties with Scale . With a significant investment in Scale AI, Meta has appointed the company's CEO, Wang, to lead its new 'superintelligence' research lab.
Wang is one of those people who have been responding to not having children until Neuralink's brain-computer interface is ready. His aim to incorporate superintelligence in the next generation can be understood from this . Billionaire Elon Musk's company Neuralink is developing coin-sized microchips to implant in the human brain. The company has currently installed such a chip in the brains of three people.
Scale AI has previously partnered with OpenAI, Microsoft, Nvidia and the US government. Scale AI has also been involved in testing technology for military purposes with the US Department of Defense, Air Force and Army. Wang has openly said that AI will play a decisive role in future wars. He has been emphasizing that the US should be ahead of China in the AI field.
Big tech companies such as Open AI, Meta and Google are now working to create AI technology that allows users to communicate like friends under the roof of a digital assistant. With the inclusion of generative AI in smart glasses, smart speakers, supercomputers, and smartphones, such devices can do anything from replying to emails to summarizing content . Meanwhile, OpenAI has brought Jony Ive, Apple's former chief design officer. OpenAI chief Sam Altman Jony Ive said the prototype shown could be "the best technology the world has ever seen".
