Meta is investing $10-15 billion in Scale AI. I've been reporting on Scale for about a year now. It's the hidden middleman behind the commercial AI explosion and its activity is riddled with accusations of labor abuse both in the US and abroad. www.inc.com/sam-blum/its...
Does planet Earth have any competent AND ethical AI leadership choices? Doesn't accelerating use of AI into government have enough issues without getting embedded by a newby billionaire accused of labor abuse and nonpayment?
Fit right in at Meta then
Scale is making big connections with the US gov under Trump. The idea, largely based on 'efficiency' a la DOGE, is to make the government a permanent client and shoehorn AI into processes. In February, I reported that CEO Alex Wang was meeting with Mike Johnson. www.inc.com/sam-blum/sca...
The DOL was investigating Scale and its HR partners, Hireart and Upwork, earlier this year over violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The investigation was dropped without explanation in May. www.inc.com/sam-blum/inv...
It's all a scam...
