EFFECT.AI Mechanical Turk

Requesters
Effect Requesters can register their tasks on the Effect Mechanical Turk to be
completed by Workers. The Requesters can decide how much EFX the Workers will
get for each completed task. The Requesters can retrieve the results from the Effect
Mechanical Turk and use these results to, for example, train their AI algorithm. This
way, the Effect Mechanical Turk gives requesters access to an on-demand, scalable
and distributed workforce.

Workers
Effect Workers can choose tasks on the platform that are made available to them
by Requesters. Workers might be excluded/included from tasks based on certain
criteria such as location, age, gender etc. Workers can complete the tasks from the
requesters in exchange for the EFX tied to these tasks.

Tasks
The job offers on the platform are tasks that require human intelligence. As
mentioned before, these tasks are called Human Intelligence Tasks or HIT’s for
short. Effect maintains a database of deployed smart contracts to make it easy for
Requesters and Workers to interact with the network. Adding smart contracts to
the network is handled through governance. Affiliate programs will cover costs of
deploying new contract types.

Bots
Of course, some of the tasks entered by Requesters could at one point be completed
by bots or Artificial Intelligence. Instead of discouraging such practices, The Effect
Network actually allows for this to happen by enabling functional algorithms (and
their creators) to receive payment for their services. This leads into The Effect
Network’s second phase.
