After Meta acquired a 49% stake in Scale AI, ride-hailing giant Uber is promoting its data labeling services to potential clients. Industry insiders point out that Meta's move has made some companies, such as OpenAI and Google, which previously collaborated with Scale, feel uneasy.
In an interview with Fortune magazine, Uber executive Megha Yethadka stated that the company is expanding its AI business by providing large-scale datasets and tools to organizations developing internal AI models. This includes licensing Uber's data labeling platform and related technologies to help clients build AI agents.
"For Uber, our core has always been to be the preferred platform for flexible on-demand work," Yethadka emphasized. "This advantage now extends well into the digital task business."
Uber launched its data labeling platform last year, and Bloomberg reported in November that the company offers a "code developer hiring" service for AI projects.
On June 20, Uber AI announced the expansion of its AI data platform, which provides "custom data solutions for building smarter AI models and agents."
Data labeling is the process of assigning labels or annotations to raw datasets such as images, text, or audio, making them easier for AI and machine learning models to understand. Industry research predicts that the data labeling market could exceed $17 billion by 2030.
According to Fortune, Uber's expansion into the data labeling market comes after Meta's $14.8 billion investment in Scale. This deal not only strengthens Mark Zuckerberg's position in the AI race but also reportedly unsettles some of Scale's existing clients, according to industry analysts.
A report from Bloomberg on Thursday echoed this sentiment, noting that ChatGPT maker OpenAI is gradually phasing out Scale's data services in response to the Meta deal.
Tech giants are actively pursuing AI infrastructure and applications to seek dominance in this potentially transformative industry. Meanwhile, industry pioneers like Ben Goertzel suggest that the dawn of general artificial intelligence may be just a few years away.
According to CNBC, major U.S. tech companies are expected to invest over $300 billion in AI this year alone.
