QE tide to lift ASX stocks Our central bankers are committing a further 100 billion to quantitative easing (QE) – a program that will see the RBA purchase government bonds. The effect of this is to lower interest rates and inject extra cash into the financial system to stimulate the COVID‐19-stricken economy. QE programs have a tendency to drive equity markets higher too, and this time is no exception. Why CBA and other ASX banks and insurers will benefit this time However, Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG) believes that ASX banks and insurers will benefit more this time round as opposed to tech stocks. The ASX tech darlings, such as the Afterpay Ltd (ASX: APT) share price and Appen Ltd (ASX: APX) share price, have received a big boost from previous QE injections. This is evidenced by the rapid expansion in their price-earnings (P/E) ratios earlier in the year. “The sectors that benefit more from the next 100bn of QE may be different to the ones that saw the largest PE expansion over April to October,” said Macquarie. “In particular, we may see more PE expansion from Insurance and Banks. The PEs for both sectors initially rose with RBA Investments, but then de-coupled in September as the market anticipated further RBA easing.” ...

Up and Appen https://amp.smh.com.au/business/markets/asx-to-rise-ahead-of-rba-wall-st-gains-on-election-eve-20201103-p56ayy.html?beforeId=p51gg0 12:14 pm Appen got an extra boost today, up 6 per cent to a high of $34.27 thanks to RBC Capital's Garry Sherriff putting an Outperform rating on the stock and upgrading its price target to $40. RBC said the upgrade was driven by its US tech customers reporting a rebound in search and advertising revenue in recent quarters. Appen makes money from crowd sourcing a global workforce for tech giants such as Google and Facebook to provide the low-level grunt work needed to teach computers to recognise basic images like shoes, or speech. Just five US Tech majors account for 80 per cent of Appen's revenue. RBC said it has lifted its earnings forecasts for Appen by two per cent this year and 7 per cent for the 2022 financial year.

The Very Human Labor That Powers Artificial Intelligence https://www.thenation.com/article/society/amazon-mturk-artificial-intelligence/ ... Besides Mechanical Turk, one of the other crowd-working platforms that Sinders focused on when creating the TRK Wage Calculator was CrowdFlower, which was acquired by Appen in 2019. Appen now provides artificial-intelligence-related services to Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, and other tech companies. “Appen collects and labels images, text, speech, audio, video, and other data used as training data to build and continuously improve artificial intelligence systems,” explains Brian Reavey, a director at the company. “Our platform allows clients to specify tasks needed for their specific project. For example, a company working on voice commands to improve a vehicle’s infotainment system might request spoken words or phrases that are commonly used while driving a vehicle in a variety of languages and dialects.” “We have over 1 million crowd-workers around the world,” says Reavey, “and our ‘Crowd Code of Ethics’ is our commitment to pay fair wages to all members of the crowd.” While Reavey touts Appen’s code of ethics, the commitment regarding fair pay is vague, stating only that it is the company’s goal to pay above minimum wage. Appen says that it tries to comply with local minimum wage standards in the 130-plus countries where it operates by utilizing AI to predict how long specific tasks should take—which only brings us full circle back to the black box of AI development, and Sinders’s first question of where IBM’s data sets were coming from. Yet whether Appen is as rigorous in its determination of minimum wage as the TRK Wage Calculator is exactly the sort of question that Sinders hoped to elicit with her project.  ....
