Cool Play Lab's works were first released on WeChat. Cool Play Lab's WeChat ID: coollabs. Hello everyone, I am Sister Egg. Ma Yun's father recently said this sentence, which is particularly popular: "30 years ago, you missed Guangzhou. 20 years ago, you missed Hangzhou. Now, don't miss Guizhou again." I went there. What has Guizhou done to become a treasure trove for future development?
I, who loves learning (making money), quickly researched and found out that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Guizhou who have worked for artificial intelligence!! What is this concept? According to relevant media reports, the total number of talents engaged in artificial intelligence in China is only 50000 to 60000. Does Guizhou want to overtake on curves and become the capital of artificial intelligence in China?
But in fact... it's not that cool. The fact is that big enterprise data centers like Tencent and Huawei are not located in Beijing or Shanghai, but rather in economically underdeveloped areas. The reason behind Guizhou is that it has many mountains, water, and cool air, which is beneficial for cooling computer hosts
Suitable for storing servers, it saves both power and money, so Guizhou is the source of cloud backend big data for many internet companies. Naturally, it has become a "holy land" for artificial intelligence practitioners
When it comes to artificial intelligence practitioners, what comes to mind may be program apes wearing striped sweatshirts, but this is not the case in Guizhou - the artificial intelligence workers in Guizhou are called "data annotators", which are the largest invisibility in the field of artificial intelligence and the new type of agricultural workers in the era of artificial intelligence. At the same time, they refer to the "artificial" before artificial intelligence——
What is "artificial intelligence brick mover"? Data annotator? I haven't even heard of it. Why is it related to artificial intelligence??????
This data marker is indeed something that ordinary people do not usually have access to. In simple terms, it is: working for artificial intelligence. Yes, many people are worried that artificial intelligence will enslave humans sooner or later. But now, we are still far from that day. However, in these AI factories in Guizhou, sometimes you have the illusion that humans are serving artificial intelligence
This' data marker 'has to start with the popular unmanned driving technology being developed by Google, Tesla, and Baidu
As shown in the above figure, a vehicle equipped with autonomous driving technology can move on its own just by sitting on it. It can recognize the road, lights, and people, just like a big stone. How can a lifeless car achieve this? This is thanks to the help of artificial intelligence, which is the data annotator
There are 500 students working in the Bainiaohe Digital Town, 50 kilometers away from Guiyang City, and their daily work involves drawing frames
Frame the intersections, viaducts, tunnels, urban roads, etc. in the picture. It is said that there is a god who can frame thousands of pictures in a day? Can drawing a box be used for artificial intelligence? Although it may sound confusing at first glance, it is really important!
In fact, it's just like having machines recognize apples or using Meitu Xiuxiu to recognize faces. Machines themselves don't recognize apples and faces. We only need to give machines enough angles and different types of faces or apples to extract similar data in our own database and display the correct answer, which is the "intelligent" technology that everyone sees, so data annotators use the "picture frame"
It is precisely providing machines with a large amount of 'data sources', which means teaching cold machines to understand the world
You may have noticed that this kind of work is basically not technically difficult and requires a lot of work. Who would be willing to do it for young people now???
However, according to industry insiders, the number of full-time data annotators in China has reached 200000, and the number of part-time workers has reached over 1 million. Among them, vocational high school students, deaf and mute people, migrant workers who come from construction sites, and elderly farmers who have not attended school in dialect labeling may be more accurate than those who have not attended Asus in the Qing Dynasty
The facial avatars annotated using the 29 point method, so in order for us to use them more conveniently and confidently, society needs enough and more diverse data annotators to serve artificial intelligence. Since it is an emerging job with high demand and salary, will it be quite high!
However, the salary of the data annotator at Guizhou Mengdong Technology Co., Ltd. is 4200 yuan, without any five insurances or one gold deposit. The average salary in Guizhou Province is 5200 yuan, which is basically the same level throughout the country! The project manager here, Hu Dingxiang, said that this type of business has high costs and does not earn money, so he concurrently served as a teacher at a vocational and technical college
Allowing students to work part-time in factories as "teachers are managers" and "classes are work"
So you may see interns who can be recruited here for 2000 yuan, driving shiny unmanned cars on the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, getting ticketed by traffic police and returning home, but even members of the B station cannot afford to buy them
But is this considered squeezing students? Are students willing? Does this data annotator sound like someone who is willing to do this, who is both hardworking and tired, with low salary, low job content, and not advanced? And the student here, Xiaozhi, said, "Really, I cherish this part-time opportunity close to 'white-collar'." Xiaozhi referred to it as a 'white-collar' opportunity
I earn a monthly salary of 1500 yuan. Xiaozhi also said that this money is completely enough for me to be financially independent and even save some money, and I can even subsidize my family. Compared to the hard work in restaurants, carrying dishes and delivering takeout in the face of wind and rain, the data labeling is relatively easy and dignified. Before entering vocational high school, I didn't even touch a computer, and the only operation I knew was to press the computer button and later play with it
I started getting addicted to games and didn't even attend classes when it was severe
For this reason, the teacher talked to him multiple times and after persuasion and guidance, decided to join the data annotator. Now that you can play computer games and have money is also considered a good thing, right? What about the future? Xiaozhi fell silent when he thought of his ailing parents and the only movable property in his family, an old scalper. Mou Mou, who was already 26 years old, was considered the big shot in the data announcer
Because his salary is as high as four or five thousand yuan. Before that, he worked as a chef, entered a factory, and even kept up with the trend of the times to promote a certain type of digital currency, but he didn't persist. Regarding the days of promoting digital currency, he described with a forced expression that a good coin should earn 20000 commission, but he was playing Duang! It's gone
It wasn't until early December 2017 when someone invited him to work as a data annotation studio that he finally entered this field. Ben Ben said that the atmosphere here was good, and while they were labeling and chatting, the time was not difficult at all, right? It's easy for his eyes to be dry and dry, and he had to pay off a monthly mortgage of 4700 yuan. His salary was... Duang! It's gone again!
Of course, what is even more different from these people is the deaf mute Xiao Yuan, who is one of the few people who works full-time as a data annotator
The first on the left is a teacher, and the second on the right is Xiaoyuan. He is a deaf mute who has changed 40 jobs and has worked in restaurants and milk powder factories before. Due to communication difficulties, he has been frequently dismissed. Of course, Xiaoyuan, who has been dismissed 40 times, never gave up until she met a "data annotator" before deeply realizing that she is a useful person because deaf mute people can only rely on their eyes for a living
They are more sensitive to visual signals, so they annotate faster and with higher accuracy. Xiao Yuan said he is fortunate to have become a data annotator in the field of artificial intelligence and found the meaning of life
Xiao Wu, who is proud of this job, is only 22 years old. When he first started this job, he almost didn't blind his eyes, and they and his friends would also call each other "drawing frames". At that time, a person had to draw hundreds of boxes a day, so that when he was walking on the road, he wanted to draw a frame to cover everything, and later he received a Baidu unmanned car.
After the project, they never believed that something as sophisticated and sophisticated as this could be related to their "framed" people. However, when Xiao Wu saw himself taking over the project's autonomous car running in Silicon Valley, USA, at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, he excitedly said, "Look, maybe that's what I marked before
That feeling is like accidentally stepping on the wave of the times
Even project manager Hu Dingxiang said that without the artificial intelligence behind our artificial intelligence, it will never be intelligent. The starting point of artificial intelligence is at the fingertips of young people in small towns, and behind it are hundreds of thousands of "migrant workers" like Xiaozhi, Benben, Xiaoyuan, and Xiaowu
But while Hu Dingxiang praised this job, on the other hand, he still disliked the fact that these interns who do data annotation did too little. According to relevant practitioners, the work of data annotation is usually handed over by upstream artificial intelligence companies to midstream data processing companies, and then subcontracted to downstream small companies, small workshops, or "scattered soldiers and wanderers", which are outsourced by many sects in the Jianghu
Practitioners with mixed qualities greet each other like this: are you the contracting party or the outsourcing party? After so many layers of subcontracting, profits are further reduced, and finally the pot is covered by the data annotator, further causing them to be "cheap"
Subcontracting, cheap, unskilled society, downstream crowd assembly line, hard and tired work is just like the big processing factory with supplied materials in the 1980s, which can also be home workshops. Do you realize that this kind of high-tech data announcer is just like the construction workers??? And the person who does data annotation also joked about it himself
We have relocated from our father's construction site to the current intelligent construction site
Of course, in this "intelligent construction site", there are not only data announcers, but also voice recorders, picture providers, human translators, and simultaneous interpreting personnel. When users ask "who is the most beautiful in the world", they will answer "of course you are the most beautiful". All the questions and answers are written in advance by Sorin, and then implanted by an AI company that is good at speech recognition.
They do those repetitive and tedious tasks in order to have a lively and interesting conversation with you when you start "AI", so that you can quickly P map and post on social media to help you understand foreign language books and experience "intelligence" up close. Previously, when I thought of "artificial intelligence practitioners," I thought of tall computer giants in my mind
The scene of crazily typing keyboard codes, I didn't expect that behind the brilliance of artificial intelligence technology, there was such a group of people who silently worked hard. To be honest, I don't know why my emotions are complex. The artificial intelligence industry has provided jobs for our migrant workers, which was originally a great thing, but if you look at it from a different perspective——
Originally, many core computing and technical tasks can now be handed over to artificial intelligence, but instead, humans are helping them with the most basic auxiliary work to "lay the groundwork" for their evolution. In today's popular language, is it somewhat of a "intellectual degradation" feeling? On this Earth, humans claim to be at the pinnacle of intelligence among all species
Is this throne starting to be transferred now? And if one day artificial intelligence matures and no longer needs to be labeled, where will these data markers go? Remembering these things, I seem to have seen many of our parents who used to work in the "brick moving" industry. In the past, migrant workers built high-rise buildings in cities, but they were marginalized
Nowadays, migrant workers are creating a technological world, but they are still marginalized. The hard work they put in seems to have only changed tools - from shovels and carts to mice and keyboards, but what remains unchanged is the era of moving bricks and artificial intelligence. If they really come to suffer, why not just them? I think of Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor
The words: "What I hired was two hands, but why did one person come?" Maybe in a few years, this is how AI sees the mood of our human workers.
