Technology firm Scale AI announced on Monday the establishment of a UAE office in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The company, founded in 2016 and valued at $29 billion, employs over 1,000 individuals. This expansion was announced at a signing ceremony during the Dubai AI Festival by Trevor Thompson, the global managing director of the AI infrastructure company.
Thompson emphasized Scale AI's commitment to working with UAE institutions to develop trustworthy AI solutions for critical applications and decisions. The company's clients include Meta, Cisco, Instacart, Nvidia, Cohere, OpenAI, Microsoft, and the US Air Force and Army. Scale AI provides tools that enhance the reliability of AI solutions, such as identifying items in images, tagging subjects in large text amounts, and labeling data for AI applications.
The company's software allows humans to review and correct data accurately, ensuring high-quality data for large language models. Founded by Alexandr Wang, Scale AI has grown rapidly due to the increasing demand for reliable data in AI development. Wang, who left the company to serve as Meta's chief AI officer, has been instrumental in developing the social media giant's consumer-facing AI products.
Following Wang's departure, Scale AI appointed Jason Droege as interim CEO and announced Francis deSouza, Google Cloud's former COO, as Wang's successor.
