# Alexandr Wang Alexandr Wang is an American entrepreneur, founder and former CEO of Scale AI, and now a key figure at Meta's Superintelligence Lab, leading the company's bet on frontier AI. At 19, he dropped out of MIT to start Scale AI in 2016, turning it into one of the most important data-infrastructure companies for AI training and evaluation. In 2025, Meta took a large minority stake in Scale AI and brought Wang in to co-lead its newly formed Superintelligence Lab alongside [[Nat Friedman]], consolidating Meta's AI strategy around a small number of high-leverage initiatives. He is one of the youngest self-made billionaires and a visible voice on US-China AI competition, data infrastructure, and what it takes to train frontier models. ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[Alexandr Wang]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## Books <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/book AND [[Alexandr Wang]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## Related - [[Artificial Intelligence (AI)]] - [[AI Training Data Collection]] - [[Nat Friedman]] ## References - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandr_Wang - https://x.com/alexandr_wang
