Uber Scales Up with AI Data Labeling Division

On November 27, 2024, Uber launched Scaled Solutions, its new venture into the booming AI data labeling market. Recruiting gig workers from Canada, the U.S., India, Poland, and Nicaragua, Uber aims to support clients like Aurora Innovation and Niantic. Utilizing platforms like uLabel and Testlab, Scaled Solutions competes with Scale AI’s $14B valuation. While diversifying beyond rideshare, Uber navigates gig economy pay critiques. Will this tech pivot drive Uber to new heights or hit some expected bumps?
