    Wambalo and other digital workers spent eight hours a day in front of a screen studying photos and videos, drawing boxes around objects and labeling them, teaching AI algorithms to recognize them.

    Human labelers tag cars and pedestrians to teach autonomous vehicles not to hit them.

    Imagine doing CAPTCHA for eight hours a day.
