Meta’s Chief AI Officer, Alexander Wang, has stated that the current global AI boom offers a golden opportunity for today’s youth. He urged teenagers to become proficient in AI tools through “immersive programming”—a hands-on approach that involves extensive practice, trial-and-error, and deep engagement with AI technology through creation, testing, and pushing boundaries. However, Wang’s unfounded allegations and biased comments against Chinese AI companies have ignited controversy, raising concerns over his professionalism and underlying motives. Meanwhile, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s $14.3 billion investment in Wang and his startup, Scale AI, has also drawn scrutiny, with critics questioning its worth amid issues like management disarray, inequitable resource distribution, poor staffing decisions, and substandard data quality.
