Summary:
A report from Nairobi, Kenya on digital workers who train artificial intelligence (AI) for American tech companies. “Humans in the loop” sort and label data in an attempt to improve AI for companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta and OpenAI; working at a fast pace from areas overseas boasting controversially cheap labor. Many have deemed this an exploitative market, with companies offering inadequate wages, working conditions, and support for their employees. Includes interviews with Naftali Wambalo, Nathan, Fascia, Ephantus, Joan, Joy, Michael, and Duncan, who have worked as AI trainers; and Nerima Wako-Ojiwa, Kenyan civil rights activist.
