Mighty AI (formerly Spare5) operates a training-data-as-a-service (TDaaS) platform that enlists the general public to perform microtasks labeling media assets to improve companies’ AI systems. Client tasks focus on identifying objects and meanings in photos, video, and audio to boost computer-vision and NLP performance. The company has partnered with customers including Microsoft, Pinterest and IBM. Following a relaunch under the Mighty AI name, it plans to expand its TDaaS platform and grow its contributor network. It will also bolster its in-house team of data scientists, engineers, and sales specialists. CEO and founder Matt Bencke positions the company as the human link between cognition and AI model learning.
