Abstract: Crowdsourcing has emerged as a powerful mechanism for harnessing distributed human intelligence at scale, enabling diverse applications such as data annotation, collective problem solving, and decision-making across domains. With the advent of neural networks, crowdsourced activity has been both a source of critical training data and an arena for deploying advanced artificial intelligence systems to optimize participation, reliability, and outcome quality. This paper explores the intersection between crowdsourced activity and neural networks, emphasizing how neural architectures are applied to classify, validate, and enhance crowd contributions. The discussion spans natural language processing, computer vision, recommendation systems, quality assurance, and hybrid human–AI collaboration frameworks. The review concludes with challenges in scalability, bias mitigation, and ethical considerations, highlighting emerging opportunities for integrating neural networks to reshape crowdsourced ecosystems.
