Amazon announced it's shuttering Mechanical Turk on Sept. 30

Amazon announced it will shut down Mechanical Turk, its crowdsourcing marketplace that CEO Jeff Bezos once called 'artificial artificial intelligence,' on Sept. 30, according to a CNBC report. The service, launched in 2005, allowed businesses to hire remote workers for tasks computers could not easily perform, and its closure marks the end of a pioneering platform in the gig economy and AI training data industry. The exact number of workers affected was not disclosed in the report.
