Scale AI to Cut 14% of Staff Following Meta Investment
The AI data-labeling company is laying off 200 full-time employees and will stop working with 500 contractors.
Scale AI is laying off hundreds of employees from its data-labeling business, one month after Meta Platforms Inc. invested $14.3 billion in the startup and hired away its chief executive officer.
The company cut 200 full-time employees, about 14% of its global workforce, and will provide severance, Scale spokesperson Joe Osborne said Wednesday. Scale will also stop working with 500 of its thousands of global contractors, he said.
