The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

And part of that is because of...

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

a host of antiquated processes and workflows.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

And just in general, that system's not working.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

I think we can all look at that and say, that's not a functional system.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

And so can you use AI to, you know,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

AI agents to automate some parts of that process, automatically get whatever approvals need to be gotten, get whatever information needs to be gotten, such that that 22 days becomes a day or two or something like that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

That, I think, is like a no-brainer, just pure win for government efficiency overall.

Another one that

Other ones that are big are permitting processes.

#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

So if I want to build a new data center somewhere, or even I just want to remodel my home, the permitting processes, depending where you are, could literally take years for all of that to go down.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

And part of that is there's so many different approvals that need to happen.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

There's all these different workflows and things that need to happen.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

What if instead we just codified what are the rules of the system and had an AI agent just automatically go through that permitting process so that

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

you could get that permit or get the permit denied within like a day, right?

So, and just that times a million, like one of the things from Doge that they found, right, is that, you know, the retirements are stored in the mine, Iron Mountain mine, a literal like

iron mine, or like the paper copies of the retirements for all the federal employees.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

Like, can we just take that, which is two generations behind in terms of tech, like it's like literally pen and paper, and then use AI to go from two generations behind to two generations forward?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

Like, can we just automate as much of those processes as possible?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#208 Alexandr Wang - CEO, Scale AI

So I see it as just like, you know,

All over the place.
