Uber for AI labeling
Uber is expanding its gig worker model to provide AI labeling services for other companies.
Uber is launching a new division called 'Scaled Solutions' to connect businesses with independent contractors for data labeling, testing, and localization.
Training AI models requires many human workers to perform tedious tasks like selecting chatbot responses and labeling objects in self-driving car footage.
Uber has previous experience with AI, including its abandoned self-driving car program and an acquired AI research lab.
