While Scale is very good at marketing, I wonder if companies using scale ai genuinely understand how their data is being labeled. They have been completely obfuscating that they primarily do crowdsourcing through https://remotasks.com/. The brand of remotasks is entirely different than scale ai for apparent reasons. I don't think major companies would opt in for crowdsourcing if they knew it. There are plenty of managed labeling service providers who provide a guarantee that the labelers come to a facility without phones to label data. There's a reason why they exist.

For what it's worth, the company offers pricing tiers for secure facility vs crowdsourcing and customers get to choose.
