    With AI, we complain about its inconsistency to be reliable; we complain about it being rigid and not diverse enough. Ahmed Rashad who works on the frontline with human experts, shared something that serves as a sharp reminder why we need humans: "...  that inherent variability in humans that everyone complains about. It's actually a beautiful thing." The uniqueness of human is where the wisdom lives - and believe it or not, Ahmed is trying to make it work with AI: "We're actually trying to extract that human wisdom and that variability". Tune in to our latest founder wisdom sharing with Ahmed Rashad on TwoSetAI. [link in comment] For everyone working from home today feeling a bit lonely - share one piece of wisdom crossing your mind right now? :)

    How badly do you want it? Because you 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐭... as bad as Ahmed did. He didn’t start in Silicon Valley. He started offshore — on 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐬 surrounded by steel sweat and sea spray. No network. No fancy title. But somewhere between those roaring machines, he decided he wanted to build something that thought. So he left the rigs. Then earned his way into MIT. From there — Amazon. Scale AI. And finally, his own company: Perle One year later, Perle is worth $80 milion — because Ahmed knows what it’s like to do invisible work. Shit, he’s lived it. He went from drilling into rock to drilling into data. Ahmed Rashad started at sea. Now he’s teaching machines how to see.

    AI is reshaping collaboration dynamics, highlighting opportunities for enhanced teamwork. At Perle, our experience underscores that true returns stem not from increased models, but from enhanced synergy among individuals, procedures, and objectives. In a recent piece, I delve into strategies for leaders to narrow the human-technology interface in the era of AI. 👉 "Bridging the Human Gap in the Age of AI." #AI #Leadership #HumanInTheLoop #Perle #Transformation #FutureOfWork

    I started Perle to solve a problem I’ve seen in every AI project I’ve worked on: even the best models fail without great data. That’s why we created Perle Labs, a platform that connects enterprises and frontier labs with verified human expertise for model training, QA, and evaluation. Today, I’m excited to share that the Perle Labs beta launch is LIVE. Built on Solana, it’s the first step toward a global contributor network where qualified experts complete real annotation tasks, earn rewards, and build reputations for delivering the precision and judgment that production AI depends on. For customers, it means a scalable source of verifiable human feedback. For contributors, it’s a better way to join the AI economy. We’re building the bridge between human expertise and machine intelligence. More info below. 🔗 Link in comments.

    We recently worked with a healthcare AI company developing autonomous medical agents for note generation. Their goal was to reduce clinician documentation workload and improve record accuracy. Perle helped strengthen the model architecture, built a benchmark framework with medical experts to capture real-world edge cases, and supported multilingual quality assurance in Arabic, Spanish, and other languages. The outcome was a more reliable generative stack, clinically relevant evaluation, and broader accessibility for diverse patient populations bringing their medical AI closer to safe, scalable deployment.

    Most AI models fail because of their data. When annotation is handled by generalists, you end up with: ❌ Higher iteration costs ❌ Missed edge cases ❌ Slower model performance gains The fix? AI scientists. They bring the domain knowledge, technical context, and precision that transform annotations from “just labels” into the foundation of high-performing, trustworthy models. At Perle, we don’t just label data. We use experts annotators to ensure high-quality data. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eX9df3kj

    Too many AI initiatives start with bold ambitions then derail in weeks as requirements shift, edge cases pile up, and teams scramble to catch up. In annotation-heavy projects, scope creep is especially insidious. The real costs of loose scoping: ❌ Vague business objectives that leave teams guessing what “success” means ❌ Cross-functional misalignment where data, engineering, and product diverge on priorities ❌ Endless loops: more labels, new categories, rework over rework ❌ Undefined technical specs forcing teams down expensive trial-and-error paths At Perle, we believe clarity from day one is non-negotiable. We’ve built tools and processes to: ✅ Translate big-picture goals into precise, executable data specs ✅ Align data scientists, engineers, and product owners on the same scope ✅ Minimize rework by locking down requirements early If your AI project feels like it’s chasing its tail instead of advancing, scope creep is probably the culprit.

    Generic human oversight doesn’t cut it in AI. In high-stakes domains like healthcare, law, and finance, you need experts-in-the-loop. Here’s why expert guidance matters: 👉 Well-annotated data separates a great model from a mediocre one 👉 Experts catch edge cases that generalists miss 👉 Accurate labels reduce iteration cycles and compliance risk At Perle, we make sure your data pipelines are guided by domain specialists.
