PARIS, June 13 (Reuters) - OpenAI plans to continue

working with Scale AI after rival Meta on Friday agreed

to take a 49% stake in the artificial intelligence startup for

$14.8 billion, OpenAI's CFO Sarah Friar told the VivaTech

conference in Paris.

Scale AI provides vast amounts of labelled or curated

training data, which is crucial for developing sophisticated

tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT.

"We don't want to ice the ecosystem because acquisitions are

going to happen," she said. "And if we ice each other out, I

think we're actually going to slow the pace of innovation."
