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.
