Amazon’s new Mechanical Turk gives your company the ability to temporarily hire thousands of workers to quickly solve your tedious chores.
How does it work?
Imagine your company has 10,000 photographs of Alaskan landscapes. You need to find the 2,000+ that captured the Alaskan Pipeline. What would it take for one of your employees to go through all 10,000 images at a time?
With the Mechanical Turk, you’ll pay approximately $.01 for each image. Watch an army of workers around the world solve your problem in about a day. So, for around $100, you can have those images ready for that presentation next week.
The Mechanical Turk is artificial, artificial intelligence. People do the work instead of machines to get machine-like speed and precision. Amazon includes statistical analysis to ensure accuracy and your satisfaction
