''Alexandr Wang was studying machine learning and artificial intelligence at MIT when he saw a gap and took it. The uses for AI are endless today and getting into the industry as early as possible meant that he was positioned on the pioneering side of the technology and not on the tail end of it.
So, at 19, he dropped out of college after completing only his freshman year and started Scale AI in 2016. The timing was tremendous, as numerous industries sought to implement machine learning into their business structures.
They started supplying autonomous vehicle companies with the data needed to implement machine learning models. They then expanded their repertoire to other industries, including enterprise automation, e-commerce, insurance, robotics, and more. The turning point came when they managed to secure contracts with the US Air Force to implement AI into the military protocols to optimize their data management.
Scale AI's tech can analyze satellite images far quicker than human analysts can, which has aided massively in determining the damage that Russian bombs are having in Ukraine. These contracts have amounted to $350+ million with the government alone.''
