OpenAI quietly hired hundreds of international contractors to train its artificial intelligence in software engineering, according to a report from Semafor.
Some contractors, reportedly hired in the last six months from Latin America and Eastern Europe, have been tasked with creating data to train AI to perform simple software engineering tasks. While OpenAI already has a product called Codex that can convert natural language into working code, the hiring spree suggests that the company is looking to advance that technology, potentially creating a working replacement for some human coders.
