Artificial Artificial Intelligence

OK this isn't exactly about usability, and it's also been around a while, but I loved the title.

Apparently Amazon are implementing HITS which is a system allowing computers to give individual tasks to humans to perform, if humans are better at those tasks (like identifying objects in images, for example).

Thomas Purves has an interesting post on his blog about how usability has evolved to robot-robot interaction which is worth a read, although the inclusion of 'AAI' is a little irrelevant :)
