(NYSE:ZDGE), $ZDGE, a leader in digital marketplaces and interactive games that provide content, enable creativity, empower self-expression and facilitate community, today announced growing demand for Dataseeds.AI, its B2B offering that provides developers of foundational AI models and enterprises with a source of scalable, commercial-grade on-demand, rights-cleared image datasets for AI training. Customers include leading AI companies.

Jonathan Reich, Zedge's CEO, commented:

"Zedge's global creator community is a key differentiator for DataSeeds.AI's ability to deliver custom image datasets at scale. When a recent client required images of common objects and how they appear in their native setting across 20 countries, we fulfilled the order by tapping our existing catalog and search capabilities, and launching a targeted GuruShots photo challenge aligned with the customer's specifications to further build out the dataset. Our engineers have also strengthened the platform's search to identify content that may be peripheral to an image's primary subject. These strengths make DataSeeds.AI relevant to enterprises beyond technology companies that need authentic, high-quality content at scale."

Dataseeds.AI leverages Zedge's unique and original catalog of approximately 30 million rights-cleared images curated and ranked through GuruShots,The World's Greatest Photography Game. Thousands of photographers worldwide contribute original content through GuruShots' vibrant challenge system.

When highly specific or niche visual requests arise, Dataseeds.AI rapidlylaunches targeted Gurushots challenges to source bespoke content. For complex or specialized projects, Zedge can also engage its Zedge Premium Marketplace artists and other creators to assemble this content. This approach delivers scale, global reach, rapid turnaround and full rights clearance for every asset.

AI-Driven Discovery Expands Customer Value

Dataseeds.AI's enhanced search technology discovers imagery that meets customer requirements, including content that may be ancillary to an image's primary subject.
