Sama

Sama has launched a new training platform designed to enhance how we handle AI annotation! Our system reduces project ramp-up times by 50%, improves tag accuracy by 16%, and increases shape accuracy by 15%. Clients benefit from faster, higher-quality results, while our annotators gain valuable skills and opportunities for growth in the digital economy. From LiDAR data to sensor fusion tasks, tasks that once required extensive training can now be completed more efficiently. This platform is about more than improving AI annotation—it’s about empowering our workforce with skills for the future of AI. We aim to develop local talent and remain focused on responsible AI development. To read more click here:https://lnkd.in/dMqudBdB

Today is #InternationalEqualPayDay —a moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made and the work still needed to ensure equal pay for everyone. Women worldwide continue to earn, on average, 20% less than men for the same work. This gap is not just about numbers; it’s about real people and real lives affected by outdated norms and systemic issues. At Sama, we’re committed to changing this. Since 2008, we’ve been working hard to create opportunities where gender doesn’t determine pay or potential. We believe in a world where everyone, regardless of background, can excel and be fairly rewarded. As we mark this day, we stand firm in our promise to ensure equal opportunities and fair wages for all our workers. Because at Sama, gender should never limit success. #Sama #WomeninAI #Equalpay

We’re thrilled to announce Sama’s participation in the Mission Impact Academy Global AI Summit, where our own Claudel Rheault will be leading a vital session on how to design for better human-AI interactions. As #AI continues to shape the future, it's essential to ensure that our interactions with AI systems are meaningful, transparent, and effective. Claudel will cover three key elements to unlock the full potential of human-AI collaboration: 1️⃣ Strategies for actively engaging end-users in AI development to build trust and transparency. 2️⃣ Learn how to identify and mitigate biases in user-AI interactions to ensure fairness and equity. 3️⃣ How mental models influence user expectations and how to design AI systems that align for intuitive, human-centered experiences Claudel’s approach underscores how important it is to deeply understand human factors when integrating AI into our lives. Join this insightful session and discover how we can collectively design more inclusive, effective AI systems for a better future. 🔗 Don’t miss out!

"How do we reduce waste (and as a whole, emissions) without sacrificing profit or leaving people hungry? This is a complex problem, with no single miracle solution. But being smarter about agriculture is a good start and it requires embracing technology like artificial intelligence (AI)." Writing for Food Logistics, our CEO Wendy Gonzalez shares three use cases where AI models can reduce waste and potentially reduce agricultural emissions: livestock, pesticides, and at the end of the food cycle.
