« The Attention Economy | Main | mSpace Design Doc » November 04, 2005 Artificial, Artificial IntelligenceAmazon has created a distributed human intelligence service: Amazon Mechanical Turk provides a web services API for computers to integrate "artificial, artificial intelligence" directly into their processing by making requests of humans. Developers use the Amazon Mechanical Turk web services API to submit tasks to the Amazon Mechanical Turk web site, approve completed tasks, and incorporate the answers into their software applications. Some docs to look at: Of course, it does not take me very long to also see the potential mis-uses of distributed human intelligence - and I am smiling for two reasons as I write this. For example: automating the interpretation of captchas or of other difficult tasks in order to give the false impression that a bot is a human. The benefits and hazards that are rapidly coming to mind reflect the power of this idea. Spotter: Leigh Dodds | TrackBackComments
