Singapore startup BasisAI launches new platform Bedrock

BasisAI, a Singapore-based Artificial Intelligence startup, announced today the launch of Bedrock, a new machine learning platform that aims to empower data-driven enterprises to deploy AI in the real world responsibly.

According to a press statement by the company, the new platform will enable users to have faster time-to-impact for machine learning in their enterprise and achieve AI governance-by-design.

“In the last year, we’ve been told repeatedly by enterprises that they often have to tread a balance between speed and governance. We have built Bedrock so that ambitious enterprises who want both rapid time-to-market and reliability don’t have to compromise. If you rush a machine learning software build and it’s not robust, it can fail silently in unintended ways, leading to bottlenecks down the line. Likewise, if governance is just a matter of filling in compliance paperwork, rather than built into the workflow, it’s simply going to stifle innovation,” said Feng-Yuan Liu, CEO and Co-Founder, BasisAI.
