How big AI companies exploit data workers in Kenya | DW Documentary
Behind today’s AI revolution stands an invisible workforce: millions of data workers who painstakingly train artificial intelligence systems we all use. Many of them are based in the Global South, like Kenya. They are being exposed to traumatizing content and difficult work conditions, while earning a fraction of their counterparts in developed…

untill we have a working system, these mfs will continue exploiying us. Kenyans have contributed alot in these companies, in return they pay us nuts.
It is not exploitation…. if you accept what they are willing to pay then it is no you being used. Just reject it and walk away…
What is kenya leadership saying about this
Maybe this work is only for mentally sound people. A psychological assessment prior and intermittently maybe necessary. Unfortunately the work is a necessary evil
I hope they get paid. Every economist and marketing company( Wall Street) see's Africa as a cheap labor force because of the 1000's of degree holders need work (jobs) that work has been done so the ones controlling the money paid themselves and closed down quick.
It is really disappointing to hear such thing, thank you DW
Information is power
Ukoloni mamboleo
I do outliers and they have good payments. Not with Kenyan accounts though. Currently earning $30 per hour which is really good in this economy
bagus juga dah tahu sikit2, offline pun dah cukup bagus. tapi kena selongkar banyak perkara juga.
Hii ndio Ile job ya Taptengelei
Capitalization at its worst.
Daproim Africa a company in kenya same as the Sama AI should be documented.
Daproim Africa is the worst, they are located in westlands along Chiromo road. Their manager is Kenyan and he's sourcing jobs oversees, sometimes even here in kenya, and he ends up enslaving fellow kenyans. Pathetic!
I have a story about a company that is not paying Kenyans for their efforts. It's a freelance company
artificial intelligence should be banned!
They should pay better for the jobs
Your Government is to blame!
They negotiate the terms/laws of how outsiders can employ workers in your country!!
Now, I see you can't even protest against your government without being jailed!
thank you! I used to work for remotask the job is tiring.
I still remember doing something like where you mark social media ads posting as "good" and "bad" for like 8 dollar/5minutes/days within about a year. No disturbing ads at all.
Then the job suddenly stopped and I got invite to do data annotation. They say the work is taken over by another company and the pay is like only 1/8 or 1/12 with hell lot of bullet points to follow.
Guess when they have discovered what they really want specifically to feed into AI, that's when they need human machines.
Shitting on ai is like saying please dont invent electricity
The issue is just money rise but what they are doing is good. Labelling,is not bad.we also must have a testing model in anything. Africa will always come last im a kenyan and this i know
