What their customers say
Quotes from people at Scale AI's customers.
“We got so much recognition in the technology, media, and advertising industries, for being innovative leaders in this space, and for producing something really exciting, engaging, effective, also safe. We have a lot more to do. We have an exciting roadmap ahead that we will be announcing shortly, and we're going to continue to be partnering with Scale AI, and I'm really excited about that.”
“All the guardrails needed to be in place so that this experience was the most reliable, trusted, and safe environment for our content and our journalism. Scale brought a depth of expertise and information to the table to guide us through that process.”
“We knew and anticipated that there would be half of the population who would be very excited about it and there would be half who would have issue with it. And because of that, we wanted to make sure that all of the guardrails were in place, making sure that this experience was the most reliable, trusted, safe environment for our content and our journalism to still be the primary experience, but to give users that interactivity that they've come to expect.”
