"ANTONIO CASILLI: Yes. Data workers are today’s factory workers insofar as AI has become like a driving force for so many industries, and they are necessary to produce what we use every day — you know, chatbots and models. Now, we are not talking about tech workers, engineers, product managers, designers, these highly paid and highly recognized professionals. We are talking about persons who are hidden. And I insist on the fact that they are not invisible. They are purposely hidden by the companies that produce AI because they are the secret ingredient of AI itself. They train it. And this is a verb that we are now more familiar with, because we know that, I don’t know, ChatGPT has been trained for a number of years by persons who were literally feeding them data and enriching this data. But they are also, these data workers, those who verify that, for instance, the results of the same ChatGPT are in line with what we are looking for as users. And sometimes they are even those who, you know, operate maintenance, perform maintenance live, meaning that sometimes they replace the machine itself, and so they, to an extent, impersonate AI. So, they do all these things, and they are really poorly paid.
We have been following and working with them for a number of years, for six years now already, and we have been conducting surveys and interviews and observations in more than 30 countries and interviewed more than 4,000 of these workers in places like, I don’t know, Venezuela or Kenya or Madagascar and so on. And they are really everywhere. They are also in the U.S. and Europe, also in high-income countries. But, of course, given the very low wages that they have as a compensation, these kind of jobs, which are not jobs — these are more tasks that they perform in a more or less formal way — they are more interesting to people who are living in low-income countries."

#DemocracyNow! reports on the extreme exploitation & oppression of hundreds of millions of #DataWorkers across the globe who are training #AI for the #BillionaireClass ..
#GifsArtidote: .. & making us all liabilities to be murdered by the #WeaponIndustry we fund with our taxes.
the #NarcissisticRoundabout in full throttlethe only way to stop it is turning our backs to these systems of death & building anew from the grassroots up.

Podcast con la Dott.ssa Julian Posada
L'intervista parla della forza lavoro nascosta dell'IA, ovvero i lavoratori nei paesi più poveri che etichettano i dati, identificano i contenuti e costruiscono le fondamenta essenziali che alimentano l'attuale rivoluzione dell'intelligenza artificiale. -
Riconquistare l'indagine scientifica come strumento per la #lotta dei #lavoratori
Il saggio pubblicato riflette sulle fondamenta marxiste e sulle implicazioni politiche dell'Indagine dei #DataWorkers
Mostra sia il potere politico dell'indagine dei lavoratori dei dati sia le sfide pressanti nell'organizzare una forza lavoro globalmente frammentata.
Il compito di produrre la conoscenza favorevole all'emancipazione collettiva rimane, come sempre, permanente

RE: https://mamot.fr/@casilli/116551323220213891
« Il y a une véritable dynamique de constitution de classe, au sens sociologique et d’économie politique. Les travailleurs sont en train de se constituer en classe politique, et cela se joue aussi dans le conflit avec des plateformes qui, malgré leur complexité, restent assez représentatives du secteur. Plus largement, ces acteurs économiques ne peuvent pas fonctionner autrement qu’en exploitant le travail humain. »

'Over time, I began to suspect that I wasn’t just chatting with lonely users. I was also helping to train AI companions, systems designed to simulate love, empathy, and intimacy. Many of us believed we were simultaneously impersonating chatbots and teaching them how to replace us. Every joke, confession, and “I love you” became data to refine the next generation of conversational AI.'

Künstliche Intelligenz, "soziale" Medien und die Ausbeutung von Arbeitskraft in #Kenia
‚KI und soziale Medien sind in aller Munde. Es wird gesagt, sie werden die Welt verändern. Doch was steckt hinter der Entwicklung dieser Technologien? Wie sieht es mit den Rechte der Erwerbsarbeiter:innen aus, die diese mit Inhalten füllen bzw. Inhalte prüfen und so erst zum Laufen bringen - und damit helfen, enorme Gewinne zu produzieren? In Zeiten, in denen über eine KI-Blase geredet wird, die bald zu platzen droht, veröffentlichte Labournet Germany ein lesenswertes Feature über die Content Moderators Union in Afrika - mit dem Fazit: Hinter ChatGPT, Facebook und Co. stecken prekäre und traumatisierende Arbeitsbedingungen‘

Podcast Radio Onda Rossa: ‘In the Belly of AI’
Intervista al prof. Antonio Casilli, sociologo ricercatore all'università di Parigi, autore del documentario che mette a tema la condizione dei lavoratori dei dati per la IA che in ogni parte del mondo lavorano sottopagati e in condizioni precarie.
Il documentario verrà proiettato a Roma, venerdì 20 novembre, presso lo spazio gestito dall'associazione Forte Prenestino.

Vent'anni fa veniva lanciato Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk), un marketplace di crowdsourcing per mettere in contatto aziende (requester) e lavoratori (worker) con compiti che richiedono intelligenza umana, come l'etichettatura di immagini o la trascrizione di audio.
I lavoratori completano i compiti HIT - Human Intelligence Tasks - in cambio di un compenso stabilito dai requester.
Allora come oggi: sottopagati e declassati per lavori stressanti e ad alto rischio.

"Behind every AI system is a huge amount of human effort. Most of this work is not done by well-paid engineers, but by millions of precariously employed workers."
Great explainer by @superrr!

Ayer estuvimos en el evento de #DataWorkers. Las y los trabajadores de datos han abierto una pequeña ventana en el espacio de opacidad al que les relegan las corporaciones. Pudimos entender mejor quiénes son, qué papel juegan, cómo lo padecen y cómo se organizan. Exigen que el trabajo de datos se dignifique, que sea más ético y justo, y para ello buscan que la ciudadanía se haga consciente. Os invitamos a informaros en esta web: https://data-workers.org/

AI’s Hidden Human Cost: The Struggle of Kenya’s Data Workforce
A growing body of evidence reveals a disturbing truth: data workers in countries like Kenya are being exploited to train AI systems, facing underpayment, emotional trauma, and precarious working conditions.

#DeepSeek built a #ChatGPT rival for $5.6M. Secret? State-subsidized data labor?
#China isn’t outsourcing—it’s building massive annotation hubs in low-tier cities, backed by government funding.
Same #AI hype cycle:
hide the #DataWorkers. -
This panel discussion with among others @timnitGebru on the way #contentmoderation #dataworkers are being treated is heart breaking. It puts the recent "we do not need content moderation" by #meta in an even more complicated perspective.
