The young mathematician had the idea of providing a complete toolbox for companies to make the best use of artificial intelligence. The start-up can deliver the best of AI to its customers at the cost of creating and maintaining a specialized branch.
And it pays off: Scale AI has more than 300 customers, including many valuable names such as Samsung, Toyota, Nvidia, SAP, Pinterest, Instacart, Square, LinkedIn, Lyft. A major victory for Alexander Wang was retained by the U.S. Air Force.
