Sama, a leading provider of data labeling, supervised fine-tuning, and model evaluation solutions for global artificial intelligence (AI) models, announces its readiness to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and support customers in adhering to the Artificial Intelligence Act within the European Union.
Sama has aligned its policies and systems with key EU regulations, including the German Supply Chain Act, Article 9 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), and international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles. These measures ensure that Sama meets the core requirements of the CSDDD, positioning it as a benchmark for responsible AI practices in data annotation.
Wendy Gonzalez, CEO of Sama, emphasized the importance of ethical AI development and supply chain responsibility, stating, “We are no longer in AI’s Wild West era. There is only one right way to develop AI, and that’s the responsible way—not just following regulations yourself, but ensuring that your supply chain does too.”
Following a rigorous CSR audit that achieved 98.6% compliance aligned with CSDDD standards for a major automotive supplier, Sama has been selected as the customer’s preferred data annotation vendor. This recognition underscores both companies’ commitments to stringent corporate due diligence and ethical AI practices.
In preparation for the AI Act, which begins implementation in June 2024, Sama has proactively enhanced its infrastructure. The company ensures secure project environments through controlled-access floors and integrates with leading global cloud storage providers to maintain data integrity and comply with GDPR, CCPA, ISO, and TISAX certifications.
Sama’s initiatives also include the launch of Sama Red Team, dedicated to enhancing the safety and reliability of high-risk AI models and large language models.
As EU member states prepare to implement compliant legislation over the next two years, Sama remains committed to supporting its customers in navigating these regulatory landscapes effectively.
