Albert Saniger, the founder and former CEO of Nate, a purchasing application of AI who promised a “universal” payment experience, has been accused of defrauding investors. Far from helping AI buyers, human contractors in the Philippines were manually completing customer transactions.

Techcrunch reports that the Department of Justice announced this week that it has gained fraud to Albert Saniger, the founder and former CEO of Nate. Nate is a Startup Fintech who said that its AI purchase application allowed users to buy any electronic commerce site with a single click. However, an investigation revealed that the real application largely relates to human contractors in the Philippines to complete craft transactions, instead of AI, as Saniger said. The practice of pretending to collect prestige and effective investors is known as “AI washing.”

Founded in 2018, Nate had raised more than $ 50 million outstanding investors such as Coatue, Forerunner Ventures and Renegade Partners. The most recent financing of the startup was a $ 38 million series A round directed by Renegade Partners in 2021.

According to the Department of Justice, Saniger cheated investors by stating that Nate could make “without human intervention” transactions, with AI only failing in rare edge cases. Actually, the application of the application, the real automation rate of the application was effective zero percent, although Nate acquired some AI technology and hiring data scientists.

The information in a large dependence on human contractors in Nate was previously informed by the information in a 2022 investigation. When he was contacted to comment, Saniger did not respond. He currently appears as managing partner in the VC firm of New York Buttercore Partners, who also does not respond to a request for comments.

The accusation of the Department of Justice establishes that Nate was left without money and had to sell its assets in January 2023, resulted in “almost total” losses for investors. Saniger LinkedIn’s profile indications resigned as CEO of Nate at some time in 2023.

As Breitbart News previously reported, one of the examples of high laundering profile of Amazon:

According to the information, the “Just Walk Out” technology, which uses cameras and sensors to track the purchase of customers, used more than 1,000 people in India to watch and label videos to guarantee precise payments. These workers essentially served as remote ATMs, monitoring customers while buying.

The report indicated that from 2022, 700 of each, 000 sales of ‘Just Out’ required human intervention, below Amazon’s internal objective of less than 50 reviews per 1000 sales. This revelation raises questions about the true nature of technology and its dependence on human work.
