The Human Labor Powering AI Engines
As anxieties over automation mount, AI is already responsible for the employment of millions of workers globally.
From chatbots to text-to-image generators, AI relies on human workers labeling and annotating the millions of images and words it references.
But the work of feeding information to AI can be tedious, with unreliable pay and few opportunities for growth.
We discuss the workforce powering AI and Congress' plans to regulate the industry.
