In the summer of 2016, Alexandr Wang was a 19-year-old building his data-labeling startup, Scale AI, in a Silicon Valley pool house with his cofounder, Lucy Guo, while the two participated in the Y Combinator startup accelerator. When not working, the two founders slept on air mattresses and pondered the fledgling business’s potential. Less than a decade later, the pool house project has reset expectations and plans across the tech industry’s highest levels. In June, Mark Zuckerberg handed the now 28-year-old Wang the keys to Meta’s entire AI operations as part of a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI. As Meta’s first-ever chief AI officer, Wang now leads a newly formed superintelligence team packed with AI industry superstars paid like high-priced athletes, and oversees Meta’s other AI product and research teams—all under the umbrella of a new organization called Meta Superintelligence Labs.
