I remember hearing about this. Fake AI is using human Mechanical Turks. That’s why Just Walk Out never managed to get receipts to customers without hours of delays.
@StandardAI achieved receipts in minutes with CV only
Amazon phasing out its checkout-less grocery store (Just Walk Out) technology is fascinating. This announcement has one critical detail some might miss: According to the article, 1000 workers in India were watching and labeling videos to ensure the checkout-less system didn't miss anything.
This boils down to a massive discourse we're seeing today around deploying AI: structured vs. unstructured data.
Amazon deployed a massive workforce to solve the problem and added manual labeling in real-time, but how will this play out with other types of data across sales, marketing, manufacturing, robotics, operations, and more?
Companies with structured, clearly labeled data will be set up for success in the next 12-18 months as they develop/launch AI solutions.
