Quotes from innodata Executives About Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI
We believe we today have a strongest strategic position in AI innovation labs and frontier model builders. We define this as roughly 20 organizations globally that are developing the most advanced foundation models.
- Rahul Singhal
AI is moving from text to multimodal, from one-shot answers to multistep reasoning, from passive assistance to autonomous agents, and ultimately from purely digital tasks to embodied intelligence and robotics, autonomous systems, and physical AI applications.
- Rahul Singhal
We have deliberately moved up the stack toward high-quality pretraining data, expert-weighted reasoning data, agent trajectories, evaluation infrastructure, and trust and safety services.
- Rahul Singhal
We are seeing the same thing play out across the broader frontier labs customer base. We are pleased to announce that a large hyperscaler just selected us to become its global trust and safety partner for evaluating models before they are released into production.
- Rahul Singhal
As AI moves into the real world, the data, testing, and safety requirements become more complex and more mission critical.
- Rahul Singhal
Our customer base is broadening, and the pattern is consistent. Relationships start with a focused initial use case. We execute well, and work expands and becomes more specialized.
- Rahul Singhal
AI labs also require model training, evaluation, safety, and continual improvements for the AI lifecycle. This is the work we do. It is iterative, deeply embedded, and structurally compounding.
- Rahul Singhal
AI labs are also moving from execution partner to strategic partner. We believe we have line of sight on approximately [inaudible] million dollars of total contract value across the customer’s trust and safety and responsible AI programs.
- Rahul Singhal
We anticipate an exploding need for data engineering as AI moves from chatbots to digital agents and embodied intelligence.
- Rahul Singhal
We are building proprietary technologies that allow us to construct unique datasets, measurably improve model performance, and bring agentic systems to production readiness.
