Helm.ai focuses on developing AI technology for autonomous driving, utilizing a method called unsupervised learning. This approach allows the AI to learn from unlabelled data, making it more cost-effective and faster than traditional methods that rely on labeled data. Helm.ai licenses its technology to various industries, primarily targeting autonomous vehicle manufacturers, but also extending to sectors like aviation, robotics, and retail. This strategy positions Helm.ai as a significant player in the growing autonomous vehicle market. The company has recently secured $13 million in funding to enhance its technology and expand its client base, aiming to provide a more efficient way to train AI.
