What is Surge AI?

Surge AI is a global data labeling workforce and platform that provides world class data to today's top tech companies and researchers. We're built from the ground up to tackle the extraordinary challenges of Natural Language Processing — with an elite workforce, stunning quality, rich labeling tools, and modern APIs.

What is data labeling?

Data labeling is the process of annotating raw data in order to effectively train machine learning models and artificial intelligence. Surge AI provides the highest quality data labeling at lightning speeds, thanks to our highly-trained global workforce.

Why is data labeling important?

It's simple. High-quality data labeling produces high-quality data. And high-quality data is the bedrock for every successful machine learning model. World class AI starts with world class data labeling.
