In the depths of the mountains, a group of AI data labelers "grown"
"AI data labeler? What is that?" Two months ago, Zhang Bo came for an interview with a lot of questions.
Today, the young man in front of him is already the project team leader, and he is very busy in front of the computer with seven or eight people.
At this time, on the same floor as him, thousands of people tapped the keyboard "crack".
The early morning sun shines on the roof of this building, reflecting the signboard that was hung up not long ago - Ningnan Digital Economy Industrial Park.
The industrial park is located in Xihaigu, Ningxia, Pengyang County in the mountains of the Loess Plateau in Northwest China.
In 2021, the county's Human Resources and Social Security Bureau's employment statistics made the county leaders unable to sit still: In an agricultural county, in addition to "planting" is "raising", where is the new employment space?
"Artificial intelligence! The machine itself does not have the ability to think and associate, and its learning process requires the 'feeding' of a large amount of data. These data must be marked manually, which creates a huge demand for labor." Pengyang County Mayor Zhou Hao focuses on "counting the east and counting the west": only one network cable can realize the division of labor and coordination with big cities, while the local rent, water, electricity, and labor costs are much lower.
Just do it!
Pengyang renovated the idle space on the third floor of a shopping plaza on Qifeng Street in the county seat, creating a modern office area of over 10,000 square meters that can accommodate 1,450 workstations.
After several trips to attract investment, some companies in Shenzhen and Chongqing were moved.
"Rent-free for the first year, office desks, chairs, computers, Internet, etc. are fully furnished, as well as shared meeting rooms, restaurants, and leisure spaces. We only have a management team of 3 people to enter the park." One of the first to enter the park Cui Jian, the head of the data technology company, brought the reporters to visit with enthusiasm, "The employment threshold for AI data labelers is not high. As long as they can use computers proficiently, they can quickly get started."
But at the beginning, the training of employees was not as smooth as imagined. "In other places, it starts from the basic operation, and here it is sometimes necessary to teach them to practice typing first."
Even so, Cui Jian's company has grown to more than 200 people in just over two months, and those local employees whose faces have not faded from the "red in the mountains" have grown into team leaders.
"I didn't expect to find such a fashionable job in front of my home. The office environment is good and the salary is good. The comprehensive base salary is 2,400 yuan, plus subsidies and performance, and I can earn more than 4,000 yuan a month. There is afternoon tea every week, and there are often team building. , an employee birthday party once a month." Chang Wenjuan, who just graduated from Ningxia Normal University, is very satisfied with the profession of AI data labeler.
Yang Zhenghu, director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Pengyang County, told reporters: "The park is also equipped with 353 sets of public rental housing, which can provide shelter for more than 1,100 employees, and the 13,000-square-meter talent apartment rebuilt from idle buildings is also available. Decoration."
At present, the first three digital economy enterprises that have settled in have attracted more than 1,000 jobs.
At the same time, it has also attracted 8 small and micro enterprises in new formats and new economies such as live broadcasting and e-commerce, initially forming a multi-business integration development trend of "data outsourcing + live broadcasting e-commerce + digital media + modern services + cultural tourism".
