Brown student maps hidden global labor powering AI

Original: Brown student maps the hidden global labor powering AI

A Brown University student has produced a mapping project documenting the largely invisible worldwide workforce behind artificial intelligence, including data labelers, annotators and content moderators who train and maintain AI systems. The work highlights how much of AI's success depends on low-paid labor across the Global South rather than on technology alone, and it is drawing attention in technology circles as debate grows over AI's working conditions and supply chain ethics.

Why now: Growing public concern over the hidden human labor and poor working conditions behind AI systems is putting fresh attention on this research.
