OpenAI Gradually Ends Partnership with AI Training Data Provider Scale AI

On June 20, it was reported that OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT, is gradually ending its partnership with Scale AI, a core supplier of AI training data. Previously, Meta announced plans to pay nearly $15 billion to acquire a 49% stake in Scale AI, marking the second-largest acquisition in Meta’s history. Following Meta’s investment, the CEO of Scale AI will join Meta’s experimental AI projects. OpenAI is now turning to emerging suppliers such as Mercor for specialized data, while Google has also been revealed to be scaling back its collaboration with Scale AI due to concerns about competitors gaining access to commercial secrets.
