Before you can even think about building an algorithm to read an X-ray or interpret a blood smear, the machine has to know what's what in an image. All of the promise of AI in healthcare -- an area that has attracted $11.3 billion in private investment in 2021, can't be realized without carefully labeled data sets that tell machines what exactly they're looking for. Creating those labeled data sets is becoming an industry itself, boasting companies well north of unicorn status. Today, Encord, a small startup just out of Y Combinator, is looking to take a piece of the action. Aiming to generate labeled data sets for computer vision projects, Encord launched its own beta version of an AI-assisted labeling program called CordVision.
