Google's Mechanical Turk?
Google's Mechanical Turk? The original appeared to be a machine which exhibited human judgment, and Amazon recently rolled out a service where humans answered questions submitted to a machine. Here, Google offers a simple game where humans try to describe images. There's some conjecture over whether there's enough incentive here for humans to tag all of the world's images which Google is indexing, but finding ways to integrate human intelligence with machine intelligence is an important problem to solve, and Google is testing a novel solution here.
