          • Example sentence(s)
            • De klik- en kluseconomie groeit snel. Een groot deel blijft in duister gehuld. Online platformen als Mechanical Turk van Amazon en het Duitse Clickwork.com zijn bij het grote publiek onbekend. Internetgiganten als Microsoft en Google plaatsen op deze platforms leertaken voor hun algoritmes. Miljoenen klikwerkers verdienen een grijpstuiver met het aanklikken van fotootjes of het beoordelen van filmpjes om kunstmatige intelligentie nóg slimmer te maken. De taken kunnen soms bizarre vormen aannemen. Het verdient een paar cent per klik maar je kan het thuis doen. Dus stelt het veel mensen in staat om met dit online platformwerk toch een habbekrats bij elkaar te klikken. - VPRO by Erik van Vliet
