The Download: gig workers training humanoids, and better AI benchmarks

Gig workers worldwide, like medical student Zeus in Nigeria, are training humanoid robots by recording their daily activities for data collection by companies like Micro1. These workers are helping to train humanoids for various tasks, raising concerns about privacy and consent. Meanwhile, the AI evaluation process needs to shift from isolated problem-solving to assessing performance in real-world, complex environments to better understand AI capabilities and impacts. Additionally, a quantum computer competition in Oxford aims to solve healthcare problems that traditional computers cannot, with a $5 million prize at stake.
