Zeus is a data recorder for Micro1, which sells the data he collects to robotics firms. As these companies race to build humanoids, videos from workers like Zeus have become the hottest new way to train them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Micro1 has hired thousands of them in more than 50 countries, including India, Nigeria, and Argentina. The jobs pay well\u00a0locally, but\u00a0raise thorny questions around privacy and informed consent. The work can be challenging\u2014and weird.\u00a0Read the full story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0seldom used this way in the real world.\u00a0<\/p>\n While AI is assessed in a vacuum, it\u00a0operates\u00a0in messy, complex, multi-person environments over time. This misalignment leads us to misunderstand its capabilities, risks, and impacts.\u00a0<\/p>\n We need new benchmarks that assess AI\u2019s performance over longer horizons within human teams, workflows, and organizations.\u00a0Here\u2019s\u00a0a proposal for one such approach:\u00a0Human\u2013AI, Context-Specific Evaluation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2014Angela\u00a0Aristidou,<\/em>\u00a0professor at University College London and faculty fellow at the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and the Stanford Human-Centered\u00a0AI Institute.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n #Download #gig #workers #training #humanoids #benchmarks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Zeus is a data recorder for Micro1, which sells the data he collects to robotics…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5235,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[5145,5147,803,5135,5146,5144,2004,1095],"class_list":["post-5246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stories","tag-and-better-ai-benchmarks","tag-benchmarks","tag-download","tag-gig","tag-humanoids","tag-the-download-gig-workers-training-humanoids","tag-training","tag-workers"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot.jpg",1200,600,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot-300x150.jpg",300,150,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot-768x384.jpg",640,320,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot-1024x512.jpg",640,320,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot.jpg",1200,600,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot.jpg",1200,600,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot-1024x512.jpg",1024,512,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TR11-HumanoidRobot-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"Stories<\/a>","tag_info":"Stories","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}AI benchmarks are broken.\u00a0Here\u2019s\u00a0what we need instead.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n
