The Hidden Human Labor Behind AI

“We’re deep in the throes of another technology bubble, this one driven by so-called artificial intelligence, which very often is neither artificial nor intelligent. But what do AI and other forms of supposedly smart tech mean for working people? To answer some of these questions, I spoke with the authors of two new books about tech and the workplace. Craig Gent is the author of Cyberboss: The Rise of Algorithmic Management and the New Struggle for Control at Work …. James Muldoon is the co-author, along with Callum Cant and Mark Graham, of Feeding the Machine: The Hidden Human Labor Powering AI, a journey around the world of the AI supply chain, from data annotators in Uganda to data centers in Iceland to venture capitalists in Silicon Valley.” (10/22/24)
