AI Sports‑Expert Gig Economy

Companies are hiring paid, on‑demand subject‑matter experts (e.g., basketball fans, doctors, mechanics) to evaluate and refine AI outputs in real time. These micro‑contracts pay professionals to score accuracy, detect errors, and supply contextual feedback, turning expertise into a gig commodity rather than a salaried institutional role. — If this scaling continues, it will reshape labor markets (new short‑term expert jobs), shift who controls specialized knowledge, and raise questions about quality standards, pay equity, and the privatization of public expertise.
