Centaur AI (Centaur Labs) is a Boston-based healthcare data annotation platform that taps a network of 50,000+ vetted medical and scientific experts to label, evaluate, and monitor the multimodal data that powers medical AI. Born out of MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence, the company uses performance-weighted 'wisdom of the crowd' methods - delivered through its gamified DiagnosUs app - to produce labels that match or beat individual specialists, on a HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 platform.
Erik Duhaime is the cofounder and CEO of Centaur.ai (formerly Centaur Labs), a Boston startup that turns the wisdom of crowds into medical-grade training data for AI. His PhD research at the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence showed that ordinary medical students, when their opinions are measured and pooled the right way, can out-diagnose individual experts. He built a company on that insight, raising $35M total to label the world's health and science data.
