Advancing AI
with human judgment.

We put human judgment where it can most influence how AI develops, helping build trustworthy systems aligned with human intent. Our ambition is a future in which advances in intelligence expand what humanity can achieve.

Today, that work starts with the data AI learns from.

Human judgment, where it matters most.

Sapien has always focused on where people can have the most impact on AI development. In our early work, that meant collecting, structuring and labeling data for AI teams. Today, it means helping experts establish the judgments that AI agents must learn to match.

Proof of Quality puts that belief into practice. Customers define the acceptance criteria, and human experts review examples against them. AI judges compete to match those judgments. The strongest performers review the wider dataset, with continued expert checks to measure their reliability.

The human role evolves. Our purpose remains human.

Our longer term ambition is to carry this approach into the evaluation of AI outputs, decisions and behavior, helping keep human wellbeing central as these systems become more capable.

Human judgment should guide how AI develops.

More capable AI could help unlock advances in energy, health and scientific discovery. Realizing that potential means making human wellbeing a lasting consideration in how these systems develop and act.

We want a future in which people and increasingly capable AI can flourish together. That requires ways to examine whether systems are acting in line with human intent, challenge their decisions, and correct course when outcomes fall short.

TodayData qualityCheck data and annotations against customer criteria and expert judgments.

NextOutputs and decisionsWe plan to extend the method to model outputs and agent decisions within defined tasks.

Longer termAI behaviorOur ambition is to evaluate deployed behavior against standards people can examine and challenge.

No single company should define alignment for society. Our longer term plans include working with researchers, AI builders and the people affected by these systems to develop and challenge shared standards.
