Audiovisual content, ranging from movies and TV to news and sports, is incredibly valuable as AI training data. However, AI companies face many challenges when sourcing media training data, which Protege solves:

Data fragmentation

Often, the data AI developers need comes from many different sources, making it cumbersome to collect it in a resource-effective way.

Copyright and licensing issues

Negotiating separate licensing deals with potentially hundreds or thousands of providers is not scalable. And ignoring copyright issues altogether creates significant legal risks.

Usefulness for AI

In many cases, certain ethnicities, locations, languages, and topics are underrepresented in media training data, leading to skewed outputs from models that train on it. In other cases, media data comes in highly inconsistent formats, leading to significant preprocessing costs.
