US technology firm Scale AI has announced the establishment of a UAE office at the Dubai International Financial Centre. Founded in 2016, Scale AI is valued at $29 billion and employs over 1,000 people. The company's global managing director, Trevor Thompson, revealed the decision to expand into the UAE during a signing ceremony at the Dubai AI Festival.
He emphasized that Scale AI's plans align with the UAE's ambitions for the technology. Thompson stated that the company's presence in DIFC is a long-term commitment and they aim to assist UAE institutions in developing trustworthy AI for critical use cases and decisions. Notable clients include Meta, Cisco, Instacart, Nvidia, Cohere, OpenAI, Microsoft, the US Air Force, and the US Army.
Scale AI provides tools to enhance the reliability of AI solutions, such as identifying items in images, tagging subjects in large text datasets, and labeling information for use in AI applications. The company's software enables easy human review and accuracy adjustments. Scale AI's role as a data-centric AI infrastructure company has grown significantly, catering to companies needing reliable data for large language models.
The company's founder, Alexandr Wang, recently left the position to become Meta's chief AI officer, where he will develop consumer-facing AI products. Wang has gained recognition as an AI tech entrepreneur, appearing on magazine covers and testifying before US Congress. In July, Francis deSouza, Google Cloud's former COO, will join Wang as the official successor of Scale AI.
