To set up effective artificial intelligence software, a company needs a lot of data. But what happens if you don't have that kind of specific information about your area? 

A Seattle-based startup, Mighty AI (formerly known as Spare5) will get it for you by paying subject-matter experts to spend a few minutes answering questions or performing tasks. Some examples include finding golf aficionados for IBM, people who can describe a photo for Getty Images, and radiologists or technicians to read tumour scans.
