Hey swarm intelligence, I need your help! For an explainer video series for @WikimediaCH , I'm looking for an NPO or otherwise intimate knowledgeable entity around the subject of #clickwork, #datawork and #mechanicalturks that we could interview. Any hints or recommendations? Thank you!!

Unternehmen, die Daten für das Training von KI aufbereiten, überlassen ihr Personalrecruiting Kriminellen, die vom internationalen Lohndumping profitieren«

> .. clickwork shows how economic power relations shaped by precarious work conditions and global economic disparities can be directly transformed into computing power. Indeed, a clickwork platform is a machine that converts economic power differentials into computing power.

@tebicat In fact, #Amazon already did capitalize on this #ClickWork demand and added #GigEconomy on top of it to be extra greedy, value-removing rentseekers in the equation...

It's part of their #aws suite!

Many "open" models merge these datasets with other, proprietary sets, in varying (and secret) proportions.

Quality filtering and labeling for training data is incredibly expensive and labor-intensive, and involves some of the most exploitative and traumatizing #clickwork in the world, as poorly paid workers in the Global South make pennies for reviewing data that includes graphic violence, rape, and gore.

Clickworkers are turning against each other | @restofworld

Brazil’s online gig workers, who power features like social media moderation and AI #Training, are increasingly wary of newcomers.

"Brazilian clickworkers make a living doing small online tasks but pay has dwindled in recent years.

Many now hope that training #GenerativeAI will create a renewed demand for their work. They have become hostile to newer workers, who they feel encroach on these gigs.
[...]
“Remuneration on these platforms has progressively fallen in the past years, especially after the pandemic,” Braz told #RestOfWorld Projects that used to pay $10 an hour a decade ago are now offered for $3.50, she said.

Even though there is no hard evidence proving that an excess of labor is the reason rates have gone down, seasoned turkers are not taking any chances and are increasingly excluding novices from microwork forums."

"Der Fehler der #KI-Industrie ist es, diese Arbeit als einfach anzusehen und die Arbeiter nach Bedarf und für Peanuts zu aktivieren. Wir müssen sie als Experten betrachten, denn genau das sind sie."

Clickwork und Content-Moderation: Das sind die Menschen hinter der KI-Revolution

Ohne schlecht bezahlte Clickworker und Content-Moderatoren in Afrika, China, aber auch Deutschland gäbe es ChatGPT und andere heutige KI-Systeme nicht. Einige wehren sich nun gegen die miserablen Arbeitsbedingungen.
