Uber's push into AI data labeling — one of many gig-economy pivots into annotation work as labs like OpenAI and Anthropic scour for fresh human-labeled data — just lost its two top leaders, according to Bloomberg via marketscreener.com. Leadership purges this early in a data-labeling unit's life often signal strategy churn: is Uber repricing its labor pool, chasing different buyers, or rethinking whether gig drivers make sense as annotators at all?

Worth watching whether this dents Uber's ability to compete with Scale AI, Surge, and Turing for frontier-lab annotation contracts.
