Will AI Replace the Humans In the Loop?

Data annotation might seem like a purely technical challenge. Machine learning is widely seen as a means to replace human effort, and even as a threat to people's jobs. But these views miss the fundamental point that people and machines perform best when each works together to augment the other's capabilities. When most people think of machine learning, they place the emphasis on the machine. However, for the machine to learn, people have to train machine learning models and maintain them in production thereafter.
