Scale AI, the data infrastructure company for AI, has selected
London as the location for its European headquarters, reinforcing
the company’s mission to accelerate the development of AI
globally.
Scale’s United Kingdom (UK) office will serve as the centre of
its operations in Europe. Scale provides world leading data
generation for model builders, and helps enterprises and
governments adopt and fine tune custom large language models.
The ambition for Scale’s multi-million-pound investment in the
UK is to see a workforce of over fifty specialist engineers and
software developers. This expansion will bring the recruitment of
local talent as well as the deployment of specialist engineers from
the United States. As Scale’s global operations increase, their
UK-based workforce will continue to grow.
“The UK has long been a hotbed for technology, talent, and
diverse ideas, which is why we’re proud to establish roots here,”
said Alexandr Wang, founder and CEO of Scale AI. “When I attended
last year’s UK AI Safety Summit, it was clear that the country’s
leaders and policymakers are engaging thoughtfully with the AI
industry, and we look forward to our continued partnership to
advance technological progress throughout the region.”
As Scale deepens its commitment to the UK, it aims to replicate
the success it has seen from its close partnerships across the U.S.
government to advance policy and regulation, as well as support the
government’s own internal innovation initiatives.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: “I’m delighted that Scale AI
has chosen London for its European base. It’s another vote of
confidence in the UK’s economy and status as a science superpower
and we are determined to ensure AI helps deliver a brighter future
for the next generation.”
Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden said: "It is fantastic news
that Scale has chosen the UK for their European headquarters. This
is a further vote of confidence in the UK as Europe's AI hub and a
leading global destination for AI innovation and investment. The
Government is determined to seize the huge opportunities that AI
offers to transform public services for the better, working with
some of the world's most innovative companies, such as Scale."
