Mark Zuckerberg is hand-picking top researchers and engineers to join an upcoming AI research lab dedicated to “superintelligence," and Scale AI's Alexandr Wang is on the list.

The social media giant is reportedly making a near-$15 billion bet on Scale, which specializes in RLHF-based data labeling and model evaluation services. Zuck is also pushing hard into the development of superintelligent systems that can outsmart humans.

Meta Platforms has agreed to take a 49% stake in artificial intelligence startup Scale AI for $14.8 billion, The Information reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the matter.
