The Data Workers’ Inquiry - Unveiling the Hidden Labor Behind AI

This May Day, we are proud to announce the upcoming release of the groundbreaking research project, "Data Workers’ Inquiry" set to be officially launched July 8th. This pioneering initiative aims to shed light on the often-invisible experiences and challenges faced by the workers who power the world of artificial intelligence (AI). The project has brought together 16 data workers from Germany, Kenya, Syria, and Venezuela, who’ve produced a compelling array of firsthand accounts and creative outputs that illuminate the human toll of data work, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of those who play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of AI technologies. Join us on July 8 as we present the findings of the Data Workers' Inquiry. Visit https://www.weizenbaum-institut.de/ to find out more. Project Team: Milagros Miceli (Weizenbaum Institute and DAIR), Adio Dinika (DAIR), Krystal Kauffmann (DAIR and Turkopticon), Camila Wagner (Weizenbaum Institute), and Laurenz Sachenbacher (Weizenbaum Institute).
