    Amazon Mechanical Turk will end new applications. Until now, AI learning data annotation has heavily relied on crowdsourcing, including MTurk, but issues such as low wages and difficulty in quality control have always been challenges. Personally, I hope this decision will serve as an opportunity for the entire industry to review the quality and ethics of data procurement.
