Writer reflects on the questionable ethics of the emerging AI industry and its exploitation and traumatizing of underpaid, and unpaid international labor & participation.
This is why I posted it tbh, as I imagined there may be many that don’t realize how much of “AI” is a lot of manual labor being obfuscated by shiny tech.
If you look into self-driving & remote workers or labor, you can find similar accounts. Some companies trying to market their self-driving services are in reality being heavily supported by remote workers monitoring the vehicles & correcting errors or outright driving the cars in some instances. Remote operations themselves aren’t really a problem, of course, but the deliberate attempts to present vehicles as fully self-driven are.
