Amazon MTurk is a crowdsourcing platform that connects businesses with a network of workers who can perform various tasks virtually. This platform allows companies to outsource small tasks, known as HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks), which require human intelligence to complete. These tasks can include data collection, data annotation, market research, surveys, and academic research, among others.

The platform offers a flexible and efficient way for businesses to manage their workload by distributing tasks to a large workforce. Workers, on the other hand, can choose from a variety of tasks and work at their own pace, providing them with an opportunity to earn money by completing these tasks. Amazon MTurk is particularly useful for tasks that are difficult to automate, such as content moderation, transcription, and data validation.

Key features of Amazon MTurk include its user-friendly interface, quick task completion, and the ability to manage a large volume of tasks efficiently. It provides businesses with access to a diverse pool of workers, allowing them to scale their operations as needed. For workers, it offers flexibility and the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, making it a valuable tool for those seeking remote work opportunities.

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing marketplace that makes it easier for individuals and businesses to outsource their processes and jobs to a distributed workforce who can perform these tasks virtually. This could include anything from conducting simple data validation and research to more subjective tasks like survey participation, content moderation, and more. MTurk enables companies to harness the collective intelligence, skills, and insights from a global workforce to streamline business processes, augment data collection and analysis, and accelerate machine learning development. While technology continues to improve, there are still many things that human beings can do much more effectively than computers, such as moderating content, performing data deduplication, or research. Traditionally, tasks like this have been accomplished by hiring a large temporary workforce, which is time consuming, expensive and difficult to scale, or have gone undone. Crowdsourcing is a good way to break down a manual, time-consuming project into smaller, more manageable tasks to be completed by distributed workers over the Internet (also known as ‘microtasks’).
