Alexandr Wang said that AI has made it far easier for small startups to take on big AI players. Bloomberg/Getty Images Alexandr Wang said AI has become a game changer for startups that want to compete with big guys. Wang cofounded and ran Scale AI before joining Meta last year. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Vinod Khosla have said that AI will help founders build their companies fast. It's never been easier to take on the big guys, says Alexandr Wang .
