Early winners of the AI gold rush are selling the picks and shovels needed to develop and apply artificial intelligence. Take a look at data labeling startup Scale AI and its long and diverse list of customers and investors.
Founded in 2016, the San Francisco-based startup has developed software to label image, text, audio and video data that companies use to train machine learning models. Scale AI has begun supplying companies like Nuro and Zoox with the labeled data they need to train machine learning models for self-driving cars. The business soon expanded to government, e-commerce, enterprise automation and robotics companies. Scale AI's current customer list includes GM, OpenAI, Microsoft, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
It also attracted the attention of investors. The company recently raised $1 billion in a Series F round at a $13.8 billion valuation from early backer Accel, as well as institutional and corporate investors such as Amazon and Meta.
The result: Scale AI and CEO and co-founder Alexandr Wang are at the center of the AI boom. We are excited to announce that Wang, who started Scale AI as a 19-year-old MIT student, will be attending Disrupt 2024 in San Francisco, October 28-30.
In our fireside interview with Wang, we'll go beyond the hype and learn more about where the industry is headed and how Scale will continue to advance the business of AI. And there's so much more!
