Scale AI's Wang Brings to Meta Knowledge of What Everyone Else is Doing
(Bloomberg) -- Scale AI co-founder Alexandr Wang is such an enthusiastic networker that his former roommate — OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman — once jokingly told him to tone it down a bit. Fortunately for Wang, he ignored the advice. Last week, the 28-year-old parlayed his ability to cultivate influential relationships into a $14.3 billion investment from Meta in Scale, and a new job for himself in Meta's 'superintelligence' group, reporting to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. His own cash and equity in the deal is worth more than $5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. What Meta is buying: the one guy who knows what everyone else in the AI industry is doing. In recent months, Wang has become close with Zuckerberg and has spent time at the Meta CEO's houses in Tahoe and Palo Alto, California, discussing the future of AI, according to people familiar with the matter. Zuckerberg developed a strong admiration for him, the people said. Wang is also close with Altman, who before OpenAI used to run the elite startup accelerator Y Combinator. Scale went through YC in 2016, and the two men lived together for a period during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to other people who know the two men. At first glance, the Wang hiring looks a lot like the other expensive not-quite-acquisitions by Meta's big tech competitors. Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet have also thrown gargantuan sums at AI researchers with advanced degrees and experience building cutting-edge models, sometimes by inking licensing deals with their companies. But Wang stands out because he's not an academic nor is he running a prominent AI model maker — he's just really good at knowing what's going on in the industry. His company, Scale, deals with the grunt work of human-powered data collection that's needed to build machine learning models, and most of the important companies have been his customers. With the Scale investment, Zuckerberg may gain leverage over some of his biggest AI rivals. Either those companies, including OpenAI and Google, continue to use Scale and help bolster a business Zuckerberg now owns 49% of, or they're forced to go find an alternative to Scale, which may slow their progress. (OpenAI intends to stick with Scale, while Google is reportedly planning to cut ties.) It's likely Wang also has valuable insights into Zuckerberg's competitors from his time partnering with them the last several network and reach extends beyond those firms, too. Since he co-founded Scale at 19, Wang has befriended other founders of billion-dollar startups such as Plaid, Figma and Brex. Wang has also curried favor with right-wing influencers and Republican lawmakers in Washington, in part by hammering concerns about China. In the process, Scale has racked up increasingly large government contracts. Going forward, those ties could also benefit Meta as it works to break into defense tech. Wang reaches out directly to keep up relationships with a dizzying number of people, in both junior and senior roles, and knows what they're working on and what they want to be doing, according to a close contact, who declined to be named speaking publicly about Wang. 'He knows everyone' in the AI world, that person said. Even Altman, an accomplished networker in his own right, teased Wang last year about his incessant need to be socializing. 'This is authoritative, truly no one flies in and out to more parties than you,' Altman tweeted at him. 'It looks like a full time job.' When Wang was born, in 1997, his Chinese immigrant parents named him Alexandr — missing the final e — because they wanted the numerologically lucky benefits of an eight-letter name, he once explained on a podcast. The number 8 is associated with wealth and prosperity in Chinese culture. Wang's parents were both physicists who worked at the Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico; Wang inherited their braininess. He won math competitions in grade school, became a nationally ranked mathlete, and studied the violin. 'My sport was math,' he later recounted on a podcast. He finished high school early and enrolled at Massachusetts Institute of Technology but itched to start his own company. Even though his parents and two older brothers all have doctorates, he dropped out of college to move to San Francisco. 'I always wanted to be doing more, or wanted to be accomplishing more,' he said in a video for Forbes. He reassured his parents he was going to go back — 'a little white lie,' he said. In 2016, he teamed up with Lucy Guo, a Thiel Fellow, which means the billionaire Peter Thiel financially backed her choice to quit college because of her brilliance. The pair applied to YC with the idea for a doctor-booking app. During the 10-minute interview for YC, Wang came across as having a mix of potential and ego, YC partner Jessica Livingston recalled on the accelerator's podcast The Social Radars. 'May be arrogant or brilliant — I think the former,' she wrote in her notes at the time. 'But worth funding.' Other YC partners described the founder as 'high beta,' using an investing term to mean volatility. 'Describing a founder as 'high beta' means they're either going to flame out or take over the world,' YC founder Paul Graham posted about Wang. Within a few weeks of starting at YC, Wang and Guo realized the doctor-appointment idea was too steep a struggle and decided to pivot to a new idea. Wang had been inspired by recent advancements in machine learning; months earlier, the world's best human Go player had lost to a Go-playing AI. He and Guo decided to sell data-labeling services to other companies who needed to amass training data to feed into AI projects. Scale initially called itself an 'Uber for AI' because it offered contractors around the world the chance to make money by labeling data — for example, looking at imagery from self-driving cars and labeling obstacles, vehicles, signs and pedestrians. The startup quickly raised from top-tier investors. But two years after founding, the co-founders' relationship turned sour. After a dispute, Wang fired Guo and continued running the startup himself. As AI models continued to advance at a dramatic pace, Scale positioned itself as a key provider of the underlying data infrastructure. It was less flashy than building frontier models, but it was a lucrative business selling the work that still needed to be done by humans to the people building models that would replace them. Scale is not the only provider of data-labeling services, but Wang's star power, network and fundraising prowess helped make it the best known in the field. In the process, Wang and Scale also emerged as lightning rods for criticisms about the unseen workforce behind today's AI services. As Wang and Guo were on their way toward becoming billionaires, Scale worked with thousands of contractors in countries like Kenya and the Philippines who were paid relatively little to weed through reams of online data, with some saying they have suffered psychological trauma from the content they're asked to review. In a 2019 interview with Bloomberg, Wang said the company's contract workers earn 'good' pay — 'in the 60th to 70th percentile of wages in their geography.' Wang also pursued government contracts and impressed lawmakers with youth and confidence. In meetings in Washington, Wang came across as 'authoritative and direct' and made a concerted effort to meet with the Biden administration, said one former Biden staffer. Wang 'almost enjoyed' being underestimated because of his age, said a former Scale employee who accompanied him on trips to the capital. In 2020, the company landed a $90 million contract with the Defense Department; in 2022, that expanded to a deal to make its technology available to all federal agencies, under a $250 million purchase agreement. The outlet Semafor soon dubbed him 'Washington's AI Whisperer.' As Scale grew, so did Wang's wealth and profile. By 2022, at age 25, Forbes was calling him the youngest self-made billionaire. Scale threw posh private gatherings for the who's-who of AI, like a 2023 conference in the Utah mountains where, in between archery sessions and elevated dining, attendees discussed the threat of China's advancements in AI. Wang attended the Met Gala and frequently posted selfies hanging out with the Mad Men actress Kiernan Shipka. He spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and was included on Time's 2024 list of the 100 most influential people. (Altman wrote the short blurb about Wang for the magazine's list, calling him a 'longtime friend.') Guo, Wang's ousted co-founder, is no longer involved in Scale, but her shares in the company also led Forbes to label her a self-made billionaire this year. She bought a luxury condo in Miami and threw a party with a rented lemur and snake, which provoked ire from her wealthy neighbors and prompted the New York Post to deem her 'Miami's No. 1 party girl.' In the past year, Wang has made overtures toward right-wing personalities and values. In June 2024, he announced that Scale's hiring policy would be based on 'MEI' — 'merit, excellence and intelligence,' a rebuttal to the diversity, equity and inclusion policies that were widely adopted by tech companies in the 2010s and have since been rejected and derided by many conservatives. In January, Wang attended Trump's inauguration and palled around with right-wing influencers such as the Paul brothers and the Nelk Boys. In one viral clip from the inauguration, comedian Theo Von falls backward and crashes into Logan Paul when his folding chair breaks; Wang and Altman are sitting a few feet away. After Wang met Von at the inauguration, Von had him as a guest on his popular podcast, one of several prominent shows that helped propel Trump to the White House. Wang, in a camo-print trucker hat with the word 'GODSPEED' embroidered across the front, explained to Von the basics of AI and pressed the point that the US risks losing its lead to China. 'Dude, you should be a superhero,' said Von, with awe in his voice. Wang replied, 'Math goes a long way,' to which Von added, 'Oh, hell yeah, dude — divide these nuts.' Wang has taken warnings about China's AI prowess to more serious forums, too. 'If we as Americans want to defend our way of life, our ideologies, and democracy broadly, it's important for us to stay ahead,' Wang told Bloomberg this winter at Davos. In January, Scale AI took out a full-page advertisement in the Washington Post stating: 'America must win the AI war.' That message has resonated in Washington as DeepSeek and other Chinese AI startups have released increasingly competitive AI models. Wang's recent moves echo those of Zuckerberg, who has also been cozying up to Trump. Meta rolled back its diversity efforts and weakened its hate-speech policies. They are starting to act alike in other ways; both Wang and Zuckerberg now sport curly mops of hair and favor streetwear fashion while appearing on right-leaning podcasts (Zuckerberg has been a guest with both Joe Rogan and Von). The two CEOs share the rare distinction of having both been, at one time or another, the world's youngest self-made billionaire. Now, one of them will be the other's boss. --With assistance from Jackie Davalos, Kurt Wagner, Riley Griffin, Rachel Metz and Shirin Ghaffary. More stories like this are available on

(AI)gorithm turns recruiter
Vidya, a software engineer for over 14 years and in her late thirties, was looking to switch her job earlier this year. When she applied to India's second-largest software services company, Infosys , one of her four rounds of interview was with an AI-chatbot. 'A male voice command asked me about myself and 8–10 techno-functional and managerial questions, along with subtitles. The interview was through an online link and lasted around 15 minutes. It was interesting to see a computer-based questioning. I felt more confident,' said Vidya, whose resume was also shortlisted through AI. ETtech When she finally landed the coveted job, Vidya was among the thousands of engineers and developers being interviewed by AI as part of the latest next-gen recruitment process at India's top software service providers. ETtech As per numbers, IT firms are hiring tens of thousands annually, relying on AI for 70–80% of initial screenings. Just at the two top IT service providers—HCLTech and Wipro, AI is assisting to shortlist and interview around 55,000 candidates for entry and mid-level positions. Not just HCLTech and Wipro but all companies are using AI prolifically and the numbers are only increasing. ETtech Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories Infosys chief human resource officer Shaji Mathew said the company is using AI in its HR processes, covering the entire hire-to-retire cycle. 'AI enables us to dynamically map candidates to panelists, trigger interviews on the fly, and even leverage facial recognition algorithms in our interview tool,' Mathew said without sharing specific numbers. Infosys uses an AI-based facial recognition process that compares images from interviews and induction to prevent impersonation on Day 1. HCLTech is using AI to reimagine how the company attracts, assesses, and hires talent through its proprietary AI-backed platform, said its chief people officer Ramachandran Sundararajan. The firm uses the platform across all levels in their projects and programs. 'A group of AI agents augment our internal and external staffing teams to enhance job descriptions, determine the skill and competency evaluation expectations for candidate assessment, screen CVs to help shortlist, assist our technical panels in interviews and provide a second opinion of the candidate for the job,' Sundararajan said. To date, AI has helped in screening and processing over 45,000 open positions at HCLTech. Neeti Sharma, CEO of Teamlease Digital said, AI is helping save recruiters approximately 23 hours weekly. 'While exact numbers of AI-driven hires are hard to pin down, IT firms hiring tens of thousands annually rely on AI for 70–80% of initial screenings, with AI-led processes boosting interview success rates by 53%.' Meanwhile, conversational AI is still in an exploratory stage and is being used for 15–20% of their total hiring, Sharma adds. Sanjeev Jain, COO of Wipro says it has initiated AI pilots from April at key stages—from initial resume screening and first-level interviews to communication assessments, background checks, onboarding, and even simulations for client interviews. This, according to him, not only helps optimise time and costs but also subconscious bias at early stages. 'Most importantly, it allows us to onboard and deploy talent on client projects faster, ensuring we stay agile and responsive to business needs. As we continue to evolve our talent strategy, AI will remain a critical enabler,' Jain added. ETtech Outsourcing majors, including TCS, Tech Mahindra and others are also using AI for their recruitment process. Companies are using AI to filter and rank the top profiles, for intelligent screening and skill-based assessments, significantly reducing manual screening time and doing video interviews powered by behavioural and sentiment analysis. They are also using predictive analytics to assess how well a candidate aligns with past successful hires in similar roles thereby improving the quality and consistency of hiring decisions. However, Vidya felt that she was lucky to have got through. 'One concern was the English, and even the database test was difficult to understand initially. I also was not sure if they could absorb or recognise my accent or language, because the follow-up questions at times were not linked.' Richard Lobo, chief people officer at Mahindra Group subsidiary Tech Mahindra, India's fifth largest IT firm said, 'We believe that AI is not here to replace human judgment but to refine and elevate it—especially in recruitment, where precision and speed are critical…We are continuously investing in rebuilding our training infrastructure.'

India's digital job scene to expand with rise in AI and data-driven roles
The second half of 2024 proved to be a turning point. Many companies resumed hiring after a slow start to the year, largely due to the rapid pace of digital transformation. With businesses shifting focus to automation, cloud solutions, and advanced tech tools, the need for skilled professionals is rising fast. Looking ahead to 2025, roles such as software developers, DevOps engineers, AI specialists, and cybersecurity experts are expected to be among the most sought-after. The tech industry is also witnessing increasing demand for data professionals such as analysts, engineers, and scientists, as companies rely more on insights and automation. What to expect from this rise in growth? The buzz around Generative AI (Gen-AI) is also playing a major part in this growth. As more companies explore the use of Gen-AI in their services, the need for specialised professionals in this space is going up. Positions that focus on algorithms, AI safety, and generative tools are seeing a rise in both demand and pay. This space alone is projected to create 1 million new jobs by 2028. Not only are these roles growing in number, but salaries in these areas are expected to increase by 25–30% compared to the previous year. Interestingly, the tech hiring boost isn't just limited to traditional IT companies. Sectors like banking, finance, and telecom are also on the lookout for digital experts. These industries are investing more in tech upgrades and turning to skilled professionals to support this shift. Another area making waves is India's gig economy in IT. Freelancers and short-term contract professionals are becoming key players. With more flexible work models in place, companies are tapping into this talent pool for project-based roles, especially in tier I and tier II cities. India's Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are also playing a big role in the job growth story. Between 2018-19 and 2023-24, GCCs created over 6 lakh jobs. By 2030, they are expected to employ between 2.5 to 2.8 million professionals, showing just how quickly this space is expanding. Meanwhile, India's tech gig economy is set to triple by 2030, potentially employing 24 million people. What's interesting is that this demand is expected to be evenly spread between tier I and tier II cities. First Published Date: 16 Jun, 21:57 IST
