Eko Ramps Up 'Human-in-the-Loop' AI Training for Global Retailers Reports emerging today highlight a massive scale-up at Eko, a company backed by Walmart and Sequoia Capital, which utilizes hundreds of workers to manually photograph and tag items for AI shopping catalogs. This "Human Augmented" approach addresses a critical bottleneck in e-commerce: the need for high-fidelity data to train visual AI models. As AI-driven shopping platforms from Google and OpenAI become more prevalent, the demand for this specialized, human-verified training data has reached a new peak.
US Regulatory Focus Shifts to Energy Demands of AI Data Centers A new analysis released today highlights an active legislative shift in the U.S. aimed at managing the explosive energy demand from AI data centers. With power requirements projected to hit 106 gigawatts by 2035, federal and state regulators are introducing reforms to balance "hyperscaler" growth with ratepayer protection. These shifts mark a move from passive oversight to active gatekeeping, ensuring that the infrastructure supporting LLMs does not compromise grid reliability or increase costs for the average consumer.
