Mercor, a startup that provides training data to major AI companies, confirmed that it was the victim of a security breach that may have exposed sensitive company and user data.
The three-year-old startup, which is valued at $10 billion, recruits experts in fields ranging from medicine to law to literature, to help provide data that improves the capabilities of AI models. Its customers include Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta.
According to unconfirmed reports circulating online, datasets used by some of Mercor’s customers and information about those customers’ secretive AI projects may have been compromised in the breach.
