Amazon to limit Mechanical Turk service as AI reduces demand
Starting July 30, Amazon will no longer take on new clients for its Mechanical Turk (MTurk) platform, although current users will retain access. MTurk has historically allowed companies to delegate small jobs like data scrubbing and market analysis to human workers, serving as a primary source for early AI training data. The rise of sophisticated AI technology has significantly lowered the need for the routine human-led tasks that previously fueled MTurk.
