Alexandr Wang says Neuralink and other brain-computer interfaces will help kids learn in "crazy ways."

Alexandr Wang, son of nuclear physicists, dropped out of MIT to co-found Scale AI, a company providing crucial data for AI development. Scale AI's rapid growth led to a $7 billion valuation, making Wang the world's youngest self-made billionaire.

Data-labeling firm Scale AI confirmed on Friday that it has received a "significant" investment from Meta that values the startup at $29 billion.

Mark Zuckerberg's biggest bet on Meta AI will ride on the back of a fellow dropout who has dazzled Silicon Valley over the last decade.

Scale AI plans to promote Jason Droege, the company's strategy chief, to run the artificial intelligence startup, CNBC confirmed. Meta is finalizing a $14 billion investment into Scale AI, CNBC previously reported.

Tech mogul Alexandr Wang says he wont have kids until brain chips like Neuralink are ready. Believing childhood neuroplasticity offers the best window for adopting superintelligence, Wang envisions a future where children learn to use brain-computer interfaces intuitively.

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

Meta is bringing on Scale AI's CEO Alexandr Wang in a deal worth up to $15 billion to lead a new superintelligence lab and reboot its AI ambitions with cutting-edge data expertise
