For Appen, that would mean finding specialists in particular types of information that can bolster generative AI systems.
Even before the generative AI transition, wages for Appen's data labelers were a sticking point.
Kim Stagg, Appen's vice president of product, said the work required for generative AI services was different than what the company has needed in the past.
"With generative AI, we see a different demand."
The company's plunging stock price suggests that investors don't see the company's business offerings transferring to the generative AI space.
