Meta is investing $14.3 billion in AI company Scale and recruiting its CEO Alexandr Wang to develop 'superintelligence'. This strategic partnership aims to enhance Meta's AI capabilities amidst competition from Google and OpenAI. Scale will retain its independence while expanding its relationship with Meta, which will hold a 49% stake. The investment reflects Zuckerberg's shift towards superintelligence, following previous focuses on the metaverse. Scale, founded by Wang and Lucy Guo, provides human labor for AI training and has worked with major companies like GM and Toyota. Meta's AI chief, Yann LeCun, expresses skepticism about current AI trends, emphasizing a focus on human-level AI.
