自9月初其新AI助手Muse发布以来，Meta的股价已上涨近20%。这款应用连续两周位居苹果App Store榜首，其成功发布让年轻科技高管亚历山大·王（Alexandr Wang）获得了新的名声和赞誉。去年，马克·扎克伯格亲自挑选王来负责Meta的人工智能工作。
Meta’s stock is up nearly 20% since the early-September debut of Muse, its new AI assistant. The successful launch of the app, which has been No. 1 in Apple’s App Store for two weeks, has brought a new level of fame and acclaim to Alexandr Wang, the young tech executive handpicked by Mark Zuckerberg last year to oversee Meta’s AI efforts.
王此前是数据标注初创公司Scale AI的联合创始人兼首席执行官。他与扎克伯格合作建立的业务被视为让Meta重新回到人工智能竞赛的核心位置。
Previously the co-founder and chief executive of the data-labeling startup Scale AI, Wang has worked with Zuckerberg to build an operation that’s been viewed as putting Meta back in the thick of the AI race.
29岁的王是该公司首位来自Z世代的资深高管，他带有互联网风格的沟通方式可能有助于公司与年轻消费者建立联系。分析师表示，随着Facebook和Instagram用户群老龄化，公司正需要这一点。
Wang, 29, is the company’s first senior executive from Gen Z, bringing an internet-flavored communication style that could help it connect with younger consumers. That’s something the company needs as the user base of Facebook and Instagram ages, analysts say.
