Innodata Inc. (INOD) Securities Fraud Class Action:
The litigation challenges Innodata’s claims about its AI technology and Goldengate platform, which the company calls a “proprietary, state-of-the-art” “core AI technology stack.”
The complaint alleges that Innodata misrepresented and failed to disclose that: (1) Innodata did not have a viable AI technology; (2) its Goldengate AI platform is a rudimentary software developed by just a handful of employees; (3) it was not going to utilize AI to any significant degree for new Silicon Valley contracts; and (4) it was not effectively investing in research and development for AI.
The truth emerged on Feb. 15, 2024, when activist short seller Wolfpack Research published a report, “Exposing INOD’s ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ AI,” concluding that IPOD “is a manually data-entry business driven by offshore labor, not innovation.”
Wolfpack observed that Innodata’s business is “deteriorating,” and reported that a former employee said about the company’s claims concerning AI that “management was ‘putting lipstick on a pig.’” Wolfpack said that, while Innodata purports to be supporting generative AI with four of the five biggest tech companies in the world, “[w]e think this is grossly misleading; INOD has a large offshore labor force that specializes in basic data annotation, what a former high-level employee has described as ‘banging away on keyboards.’”
As to Goldengate, Wolfpack said, “our analysis indicates Goldengate is a rudimentary software developed by just a handful of employees” and “a former employee told us that potential customers would trial Goldengate for free, but these trials didn’t convert to sales because results were horrible.”
This news sent the price of Innodata shares crashing 30% lower on Feb. 15, 2024.
“We’re investigating whether Innodata may have made false and misleading claims about the use of AI in their platforms,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
