The Impact of AI on Human Workers
This podcast explores the increasing role of human workers in the development and maintenance of AI technology. It highlights the often overlooked taskers who curate and label the data used to train AI systems. These taskers, sometimes working on game platforms, perform various tasks such as image labeling and text annotation. The work is often low-paid, unpredictable, and lacks labor rights. Despite the push for automation, the need for human involvement in AI development persists as systems encounter new challenges and require ongoing updates and maintenance.
The Evolution of AI Annotation
As AI technologies like chat GPT become more ubiquitous, the need for human annotation and training grows. The podcast discusses how the process of training AI models has shifted and continues to involve human workers. Annotation tasks now include writing examples of good answers for chatbots and critiquing their responses. The podcast also highlights the limitations of AI systems, which can excel at sounding plausible without fully understanding context or facts. The process of annotating and updating AI models remains labor-intensive and far from automated.
The Concerns of AI Taskers
The podcast raises concerns about the working conditions and predicament faced by AI taskers. These workers, often referred to as a task or underclass, face a lack of stability, low wages, and limited labor rights. They work on game platforms and complete various tasks for different projects, often not knowing who they are working for. The future of AI and automation presents both a risk and an opportunity for these taskers, as the potential for automation threatens their livelihood while the need for ongoing human involvement in AI maintenance continues.
