The Slator 2021 Data-for-AI Market Report outlines the rapidly growing data-for-AI market, which is projected to grow to USD 3.5bn by 2024, and demonstrates how language service providers (LSPs) are uniquely suited to take advantage of this opportunity.
With the data-for-AI market currently dominated by a handful of large, established players and a growing number of well-funded startups, the report shows LSPs how to diversify into data-for-AI provision. The report features five case studies of LSPs that serve data-for-AI customers, and one of a publisher-turned-data-for-AI provider.
The report highlights key use cases of AI — from computer vision, fraud detection, and autonomous vehicles to medical imaging, voice assistants, and social media monitoring — and describes the role of data annotation tasks such as sentiment analysis, content categorization, speech transcription, and more.
We explain the main service models for data-for-AI providers, which center on workforce (crowd) management, data annotation platforms and in-house expertise, and list seven ways that providers differentiate themselves; for example, through offering services at scale, expanding language coverage, and specializing in specific AI use cases.
The report informs readers about the role of platforms and tools in data provision, and discusses key considerations for offering a “services-only” versus a “tech-plus-services” approach. It also provides insights into workforce management and pricing models, and outlines data security and risk management concerns.
