Mark Zuckerberg appointed 28-year-old Alexandr Wang as Meta’s first-ever Chief AI Officer, as part of a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI, Wang’s data-labeling startup. Wang now leads Meta Superintelligence Labs, a new organization bringing together former executives and researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Apple, with compensation packages reportedly reaching $200 million over four years for some.
