Scale AI's CEO Urges Trump Administration to Boost AI Investment
Alexandr Wang, CEO of Scale AI, has taken a bold step by publishing a full-page ad in The Washington Post, urging the Trump administration to enhance investments in artificial intelligence (AI). Wang emphasizes the necessity of strategic actions to maintain U.S. leadership in AI, particularly against China's rising capabilities. He proposes five recommendations, including increased funding for data and computing, and making federal agencies 'AI-ready' by 2027. While some express concerns over the war-like framing of AI competition, Wang insists on the urgency of these measures to secure the future of AI development in the U.S.
