A number of new industries are developing, and winning big, in the slipstream of the AI boom. One of them is data labelling: the process of identifying raw data and tagging it with labels that will provide informative context for the machine model to learn from. It is proving a lucrative business, and HumanSignal is one of a growing number of startups looking to capitalize on this.
