Our take
When training AI models, lack of access to large scale, high quality, labelled data is often the barrier preventing machine learning teams from building something great. In fact, labelled data is even more essential than the algorithms themselves. Scale AI is solving this by providing easy access through developer APIs to a huge variety of labelled data sets covering a large range of areas within computer vision and natural language processing.
It seems that almost every company now is offering artificial intelligence enabled products to automate every aspect of our lives. By positioning themselves as the go-to source for high quality tagged data, Scale AI is in an excellent position as the AI sector continues it's exponential growth.
With innovative AI projects across a range of sectors including retail, energy, and healthcare, Scale AI is now a leader in the industry alongside OpenAI. It continues to forge partnerships with fintech tools and software engine developers such as Brex and Luminar to continue its evolution of digital markets.
