Our mission
Ensure human expertise never becomes the bottleneck to AI progress.
Connect talented people with meaningful, high-quality work that helps organizations build and use AI.
Why ADCO exists
Talent exists around the world. Access to high-quality work is less evenly distributed. ADCO began with a conviction that educated, capable people should have more opportunities to put their expertise to use.
We saw an opportunity to connect that talent with the growing need for human judgment in AI. Our ambition is to help people build meaningful careers contributing to technology that benefits businesses and society.
Human infrastructure is our core business
From the outset, ADCO has focused on the people and operations that support AI. That focus shapes how we organize expertise, establish workflows and review the work.
Our services are designed for companies building and using AI, including research labs and teams putting AI into everyday operations. Our work spans data collection and annotation, evaluation and human feedback, research and verification, and human oversight in AI operations.
Managed teams. Accountable delivery.
Managed services are our primary delivery model. You bring the work and the outcome you need. Together, we define the requirements; ADCO organizes the team, workflow, delivery and review around that scope. You receive work reviewed against the agreed criteria.
For organizations that manage their own workflows, staff augmentation brings dedicated human expertise into the team under the client’s direction.
What guides us
Thoughtful judgment
Value the expertise to understand context, investigate uncertainty and know when a decision needs closer review.
Accountability
Make responsibilities clear, protect information and review work against agreed expectations.
Meaningful opportunity
Create pathways for talented people to develop their capabilities through high-quality work.
Progress with AI
Help people and organizations realize AI’s potential through capable, purposeful human participation.
Building for the next stage of AI
Over the next five years, our ambition is to expand access to reliable human expertise as AI takes on more work. We want organizations to find the judgment and oversight they need, and more people to build lasting careers contributing to AI.
