Alexandr Wang is the Founder and CEO of Scale AI, the data infrastructure platform that powers artificial intelligence for some of the world's most advanced AI companies, enterprises, and government agencies. Wang founded Scale in 2016 at age 19, dropping out of MIT to build infrastructure for labeling and curating the massive datasets needed to train AI models. Scale's customers include OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, the U.S. Department of Defense, and numerous other organizations building frontier AI systems. The company was valued at over $13 billion and Wang became the youngest self-made billionaire in America. Scale's government division has grown significantly, providing AI infrastructure and evaluation services to the Pentagon and intelligence agencies. Wang has testified before Congress on AI policy and is a prominent voice on the national security implications of artificial intelligence. Born to parents who immigrated from China as physicists, Wang has been named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 and Time's 100 Most Influential People in AI. His creation of essential data infrastructure for the AI era-serving both commercial and defense customers-makes him one of the most consequential young entrepreneurs in American technology.
