Do you know how A.I. is being trained?

Exploitation of Digital Workers

🌍Kenyan digital workers, including college graduates, earn a mere $2 per hour for 8-hour shifts labeling AI training data, despite companies like Meta paying $12.50 per hour to outsourcing firms.

🧠Workers face severe mental health issues from exposure to graphic content including violence and suicide, with inadequate support from unqualified counselors.

Legal and Economic Challenges

⚖Kenya's outdated labor laws fail to address digital labor, leaving workers vulnerable to exploitation and without legal protections.

đŸ’ŒCompanies threaten to relocate operations if workers demand better conditions, trapping employees in a cycle of desperation and fear.

Global AI Industry Impact

🌐The rapid growth of AI technology relies on low-cost labor in developing countries, often overlooking the human cost and ethical implications of data labeling work
