The Promise

With Amazon Mechanical Turk, Amazon plans to supply "artificial artificial intelligence" that connect programs needing the human touch with humans, such as the simple task of identifying objects in photographs (which humans can do better than computers). Examples of what humans can do for computers? Evaluate beauty, translate text and find specific objects in photos.* 11/4/05
