"And indeed, human intervention in AI isn’t as crazy an idea as it might sound. Despite the connation that it could defeat the object, a human element can be highly useful. Spare5, a crowdsourcing platform that recently launched, says it combines human insights with unstructured data.
"Spare5 says its 'platform leverages a known community of specialists to accomplish custom micro-tasks that, filtered for quality, allow product owners to train powerful AI models.'
In other words, the humans teach the robots. The 'human in the loop' provides the insight into nuances in Spare5’s case. With AI2, it supervises the results, prodding the machine in the right direction."
