Google Crowdsource

INTRODUCTION

Google Crowdsource is a fun, easy way for us to use our abilities to contribute to the building blocks of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It helps to improve google products even better for different languages, regions and cultures. Answers from people around the world are used in Machine Learning based products, making them work well for the diversity of the global population. Whenever we contribute to the tasks which are provided in the Google Crowdsource Application, it helps to improve Artificial Intelligence thus making google products like Google Maps, Google Assistant, Google Translate etc more accurate.

IMPORTANCE OF CONTRIBUTING TO CROWDSOURCE

Artificial Intelligence (AI) powers some of the most magical experiences in our favorite apps and products. It helps organize our photos, understand our voice commands, show us the most relevant reviews for products and businesses, and much more!

AI learns these skills by studying vast numbers of examples. The more examples it has for our language, region, or culture, the better it gets for us and everybody in our community.
