San Francisco-based AI training company Samasource is now Sama, says CEO Wendy Gonzalez.
Sama is a for-profit training-data company focused on annotating data for artificial intelligence algorithms. It provides work for low-income individuals in developing countries through the digital economy. The international company also has an office in Montreal, in Mile-Ex.
Sama is akin to a “profit purpose” company, having previously served as a non-profit entity.
Its solutions include image, video and sensor data annotation and validation for machine learning algorithms for a wide span of big-name clients, including Google, NVIDIA, and Walmart.
A fresh rebrand
Gonzalez revealed in a blog post that the name change comes at a time when Sama “is at an inflection point”:
