Alex’s perspectives on colleges: Today, colleges teach you very little useful to success. Being successful is more a function of personality and drive than the accumulation of knowledge. If you are resourceful, relentless, intelligent, and seek out new information when needed, then you are more likely to be successful than someone who graduated from Harvard.

That said, college is a lot of fun, so do not underestimate that.

Alex left his work, Moved to MIT for higher education. Wang Studied Machine learning there, and he met with Lucy Guo.

Lucy Guo and Alex worked together and founded Scale AI during summer break from MIT. After a year, Alex dropped from MIT. Giving is full-time on his start-up Scale AI.

Lucy Guo: One Of the wealthiest self-made women under 40. She ranks second after Kylie Jenner, with an estimated net worth of US$440 million.

Scale AI has raised over $600 million to date, and They are working everywhere from the largest Automakers in the world like Toyota and General Motors to the united states department of defense to some of the largest enterprises in the world, Microsoft, PayPal, and some leading AI research organization like Open AI.

Technologies are growing at a rapid speed. It is hard for ordinary people to identify it. Before they know it and think about using it to make something from it, it becomes available to everyone. See the Internet as an example, It is still in progress, and many are not aware of its potential.

People are building their brand out of themself just by doing their daily stuff, and that is all on the Internet, By showing skills at which they are good, see YouTube, Insta, Twitter, and other media. Making their living from monetizing their skills while many are just figuring out what to do and pursuing degrees, and not working on their skills — not showing their work on the Internet. We are missing these great opportunities. It is fine to have a degree but Making your online presence is crucial too. Show your skills on internet, and get paid for it.

Scale AI is also part of the revolution of the Internet. But, there is a lot more to come; AI is making its presence known daily in our life. One of AI’s beauties is that you can program computers with judgment, reasoning, and a sort of nuanced understanding of this world.

Abilities of AI: You can have an AI system look at the image and tell you what’s in the picture, Or a system listens to an audio snippet and understands what’s being said. AI is an incredible enabler for what computers can do through computing.

It is no wonder there is a lot to come in the AI sector, and If this article excited you, Consider giving claps and follow.
