Meta is making a $14.3 billion investment in artificial intelligence company Scale and recruiting its CEO Alexandr Wang to join a team developing “superintelligence” at the tech giant.

By Jody Godoy (Reuters) -Facebook owner Meta's $14.8 billion investment in Scale AI and hiring of the data-labeling startup's CEO will test how the Trump administration views so-called acquihire deals,

Scale co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will lead Meta’s new superintelligence unit.

Alexandr Wang cofounded Scale AI. He's about to become a very expensive hire at Meta.

Scale AI built its business on the labor of gig workers. But those workers likely won't benefit from their new deal with Meta.

META Platforms stock (NASDAQ: META) has witnessed a substantial increase, spurred by investor enthusiasm over rising user interaction and consistently robust quarterly earnings. So far this year, Meta has gained 16%, significantly outperforming the wider NASDAQ index, which has increased by 2%.

Meta's new AI tool, Devmate, is powered by models from rivals including Anthropic's Claude. It reflects how the company uses competitor AI models.

Tap your profile icon at the top right. Tap “Data & Privacy” under “App settings.” Tap “Manage your information.” Then, tap “Make all your prompts visible to only you.” If you’ve already posted publicly and want to remove those posts, you can also tap “Delete all prompts.”

But Meta's desire for Meta AI users to share their chats with others via a social feed isn't surprising. Social media is how Meta makes its money. All of its apps are social apps. Also, bringing a social element to an AI chatbot experience could always work in Meta's favor.
