Scale AI's Alexandr Wang says US is trailing China on data
Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang said that in the race for artificial intelligence superiority, the US and China are "neck and neck", but Beijing is ahead in terms of accumulating data to build models. " China has had large-scale government programmes to win on data," Mr Wang said on Wednesday during at the AI+ Expo in Washington. But he said privacy is not a top priority for Beijing. "So you know, there are all these ways that naturally they will be ahead on data, and we need to make sure that we can match that." The race for AI dominance is not over, Mr Wang said: "We're ahead on compute, they're ahead on data and we're neck and neck on algorithms. He blamed "legacy reasons" for the US lagging behind China on data, the backbone of large-language models that make AI so powerful. To catch up to China, he suggested that the US create a national data reserve, and think of data in the same way as petroleum or other natural resources. "The first priority [in the reserve] should be national security data," he said. "There's so much incredibly useful and valuable data that right now is fragmented and not leveraged for building powerful capabilities." Mr Wang also insisted that the US has "much more" military data than China, but that data was segregated and fragmented. Mr Wang's discussion about AI came on the third and final day of the technology conference in Washington. While his was one of the more high-profile talks at the event, his company Scale AI – whose technology helps to train AI applications – has been criticised by those concerned about the junction between artificial intelligence and the defence industry. It already has some of the world's technology giants as its clients, including Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI. The company also works with the US Air Force and US Army. Mr Wang has openly stood behind his company's defence contracts. During a discussion at Centre for Strategic and International Studies in May, he insisted that the company's work and the use of AI for US military solutions was a "moral imperative". 'We're at the brink of this incredibly powerful new technology and the applications for national security are obvious," Mr Wang said. He said that a visit to China, where he saw AI companies working on facial recognition and surveillance, bolstered his belief that Scale AI should work with US defence. 'At that moment it was clear for me that the US would need to have the highest quality human capital and the best companies focused on this problem." The buzz around Scale AI continues to grow as the self-described "data-centric end-to-end solution" AI infrastructure company expands its footprint. Originally from New Mexico, Mr Wang founded Scale AI in 2016 shortly after dropping out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he saw AI developments creating the need for ways to provide and manage high-quality training data for technology companies and other large businesses. His company has more than 900 employees and secured at least $1.3 billion in financing, resulting in a $13.8 billion valuation. At the AI+ convention, he spoke highly of the AI partnerships recently announced during US President Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. "Now what we're seeing is that we want to get ahead in this AI age and that's the motivating idea behind what you saw in the Middle East," Mr Wang said. He said that he expects similar partnerships and announcements with other countries in the years ahead.

Cartier reports some customer data stolen in cyberattack
Cartier, the luxury jewellery company owned by Richemont had its website hacked and some client data stolen, it told customers according to an email seen by Reuters. The company, whose watches, necklaces and bracelets have been worn by Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie and Michelle Obama, said "an unauthorised party gained temporary access to our system." "Limited client information", such as names, e-mail addresses and countries, had been obtained, said Cartier in the email sent to customers on Tuesday. "The affected information did not include any passwords, credit card details or other banking information," Cartier said, adding it had since contained the issue. The company said it had further enhanced the protection of its systems and data, as well as informed the relevant authorities, and was also working with "leading external cybersecurity experts." Cartier did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The attack is the latest case of a company being targeted by cyber criminals. British retailer Marks Spencer said last month a "highly sophisticated and targeted" cyberattack in April will cost it about 300 million pounds ($405 million) in lost profits. French luxury house Dior, owned by LVMH also reported last month that hackers had stolen data from its customers, but insisted no financial data was involved, according to Le Monde newspaper. Fashion brand The North Face, owned by VF Corporation has also emailed some customers, saying it discovered a "small-scale" attack in April this year. The company told customers the hackers used "credential stuffing", trying usernames and passwords stolen from another data breach in the hope customers have reused the credentials across multiple accounts, the BBC said on Tuesday. London department store Harrods also said last month that hackers had attempted to break into its systems, following incidents at Marks Spencer, and the Co-op Group.
