Behind today's artificial intelligence systems lies a vast and often invisible workforce responsible for generating, annotating and curating the data on which these systems depend. In this keynote, Julian Posada will examine the realities of data work in Latin America, drawing on his research into digital labour platforms and the social and economic inequalities that shape them.
Behind today's artificial intelligence systems lies a vast and often invisible workforce responsible for generating, annotating and curating the data on which these systems depend. In this keynote, Julian Posada will examine the realities of data work in Latin America, drawing on his research into digital labour platforms and the social and economic inequalities that shape them. The session will explore how AI production relies on human labour, how value is extracted across global digital supply chains, and what this means for workers in regions marked by economic instability and unequal power relations. The keynote forms part of INDL-9, the ninth annual conference of the International Network on Digital Labour, held at the ILO in Geneva under the theme "AI Supply Chains: Building an interdisciplinary research agenda for AI and labour."
