AITechPark Interview with CEO Mindtech Steve Harris

Steve Harris from Mindtech talks about the rise of AI Technology and synthetic data solutions

1. Tell us about yourself and your role at Mindtech

After working in the Software and Semiconductor industries for more than twenty years, I and the early founders of Mindtech – friends who I’d known for a long time – started to get curious. Would it be possible, we wondered, to develop and deliver AI applications as a “Neural Network platform” on a chip?

Fascinating though that thought was, we hit some unexpected roadblocks. Working with three lead customers, they each shared a huge amount of real-world visual data for us to train the networks. What we discovered when we looked at the data astounded me.

Firstly, the data across all three customers was very, very poor, and mostly completely unusable. That’s because it was either not the right data, or it was not in any way privacy compliant, with no data provenance. A big red flag.

2. What’s the problem Mindtech solves?

Mindtech Global is the developer of the world’s leading end-to-end ‘synthetic’ data creation platform for the training of AI vision systems.

RIGHT NOW, IF YOU’RE AN ENGINEER OR DATA SCIENTIST WORKING ON A VISUAL AI SYSTEM, YOU’LL BE SPENDING AROUND 80% OF YOUR TIME ON GATHERING, CLEANING, AND MANUALLY ANNOTATING REAL-WORLD IMAGES
