Modern AI applications largely depend on human-annotated data to train machine learning models that rely on deep learning and neural net technology. Responsible training data practices include paying fair wages and adhering to labor wellness guidelines and standards. Appen’s Crowd Code of Ethics, released in 2019, shows our continuous dedication to the well-being of its global network of contributors.
“Ethical, diverse training data is essential to building a responsible AI system,” said CEO of Appen, Mark Brayan. “A solid training data platform and management strategy is often the most critical component of launching a successful, responsible machine learning powered product into production. We are delighted to share our 20+ years of expertise in this area, along with our Crowd Code of Ethics, with the World Economic Forum to accelerate standards and responsible practices across the technology industry.”
