What the company does

Landing AI is a visual inspection platform for manufacturing, founded by Andrew Ng, that enables factories to build and deploy computer vision models with small datasets using a data-centric AI approach. The platform serves manufacturers across automotive, electronics, food, and pharmaceutical industries that need to automate quality inspection but lack the large labeled datasets typically required to train accurate vision models. Landing AI's Visual Prompting technology allows manufacturing engineers to create inspection models by simply highlighting defects on a few sample images, dramatically lowering the barrier to deploying computer vision on the factory floor. The company's approach reflects Andrew Ng's data-centric AI philosophy, focusing on improving data quality rather than model complexity to achieve production-grade accuracy.
