Amazon service Bezos once called 'artificial artificial intelligence' is shutting down

Amazon is shutting down Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk), its long-standing crowdsourced microtask marketplace originally launched in 2005. Famously described by Jeff Bezos as "artificial artificial intelligence," the platform enabled researchers, developers, and enterprises to distribute human intelligence tasks—such as data annotation, content moderation, transcription, and academic survey execution—to an on-demand distributed workforce. MTurk long served as a fundamental building block for early machine learning datasets and human-in-the-loop pipelines.

Managers say they are using public AI tools to prepare for hard conversations

A survey by The Predictive Index indicates that managers are using consumer-facing public artificial intelligence platforms to prepare for difficult workplace conversations. In doing so, some leaders are directly inputting sensitive information, including employee names and performance evaluations, into external generative AI tools. The practice demonstrates growing organic adoption of AI for interpersonal management tasks while highlighting persistent shadow AI usage and unmonitored enterprise data exposure in routine human resources workflows.
