The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and the promise of unprecedented efficiency, economic growth and the transformation of the global economy are plastered on headlines everywhere. However, behind the glossy veneer of AI-powered applications and services lies a hidden workforce of data workers who form the backbone of this technological revolution. Against a backdrop of precarity and exploitation, data workers are organizing to fight for visibility, respect and better conditions. The Data Workers’ Inquiry is a participative research project investigating and supporting resistance in the AI industry, where workers investigate their own workplaces.
The Data Workers Inquiry, SUPERRR and the Weizenbaum Institute cordially invite to an evening where the real people powering AI speak out about its harsh realities, how we can organize resistance and create better alternatives. Data Workers’ Inquiry principal investigator, Dr. Milagros Miceli, will give a keynote on the project’s approach, key findings, and methodology. Followed by a panel with data workers, who will present their research, reflections, and ongoing organizing initiatives, and closing with open exchange with the audience.
