Scale AI gets into the synthetic data game – TechCrunch

Scale AI's path to becoming a $7.3 billion company was paved in real data from images, text, voice and video. Now, it is using that foundation to get into the synthetic data game, one of the hotter and emerging categories in AI. They announced Wednesday an early access program to Scale Synthetic, a product that machine learning engineers can use to enhance their existing real-world data sets, according to the company. Scale hired two executives to build out this new division of its business. Scale hired Joel Kronander, who previously headed up machine learning at Nines and was a former computer vision engineer at Apple working on 3D mapping, as its new head of synthetic data.
