Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is an online platform that connects people who need tasks done with individuals willing to complete those tasks for payment. Businesses and researchers post small jobs, called Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs), which can include data entry, surveys, content moderation, and more. Workers, known as "Turkers," choose tasks that interest them and get paid upon completion. MTurk allows for a flexible workforce and helps companies find quick and affordable solutions for tasks that require human judgment, benefiting both employers and workers seeking extra income.
