Uber Recruits Gig Drivers for $25-an-Hour AI Training as Legal Teams Outpace Their Own Compliance

Uber is recruiting gig drivers for AI training work paying $25 per hour, according to Webpronews.

Corporate legal departments are deploying artificial intelligence faster than ever, yet fewer than one in ten general counsels say their global operations meet all applicable regulations, according to CSC's annual General Counsel Barometer survey as reported by Complete Ai Training, a gap driven by aggressive vendor marketing, unsettled rules and compliance work that delivers no immediate business return.

Research from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology published in Neural Computation found that giving AI systems "inner speech" mechanisms, structured self-directed signals combined with working memory, helps them perform more effectively on tasks requiring adaptation, sequencing and multitasking, per Digital Journal, pointing toward systems engineered to reason and rehearse internally rather than simply scale up on data.

University of Vaasa research reframes the AI displacement debate, finding that employees who treat generative AI systems like ChatGPT or Gemini as collaborators rather than adversaries show higher engagement, adaptability and confidence, according to Digital Journal, which argues the real risk is not that AI replaces workers but that organisations and employees who fail to adopt it effectively fall behind peers who do.

Workers are increasingly adding "AI" to their job titles in 2026, raising questions about whether titles have become meaningless, according to Webpronews.
