Mercor founder Brendan Foody says a research leader at a frontier lab predicts the AI data market will grow 100X — if Mercor holds or grows share, it could be a trillion-dollar company. Dr. Datta (AIIMS) agrees and is advising a team building Mercor for healthcare from India, arguing top Indian clinicians (AIIMS, JIPMER, Manipal) are unfairly excluded from evaluation platforms due to early subpar batches.
