Quilt.AI, an artificial intelligence human insights platform, has bagged $9 million in series A funding from Nadathur Group, reported Mint.
The Singapore-based Quilt.AI will use the infused financials to build capacity in training models on more than 100 billion images and over 200 languages and improve video recognition.
“This changes the internet into the largest reflection of the human world, and allows us to understand people and culture at a scale never possible before,” said Angad Singh Chowdhry, co-founder at Quilt.AI.
Quilt.AI was founded by Anurag Banerjee and Angad Singh Chowdhry in 2018. The company Quilt.AI claims to bring together traditional anthropology and different Artificial Intelligence engines to help firms understand patterns in human behaviour.
Banerjee said, “We intend to index humanity much the same way Google has indexed information. This index has the ability to grow empathy, by accelerating understanding between people and cultures. We can all agree that empathy is in short supply in the world at this point in time.”
While, according to the company, the Quilt.AI platform indexes and clusters millions of human conversations and expressions across public social, news, blog, institutional sources, and search engine trails.
