While companies predate impoverished communities, the fact that they do so to get specific expertise (e.g. language-related) at low prices remains undiscussed. Data workers' unique expertise is vital for AI. Framing their work as low skill serves to justify miserable wages.

A look at Indian nonprofit Karya, which sells AI training data and redirects all the profit to its workers, who retain ownership of the data they create

I hope Karya's team keep the balance as they grow in the business world!  —  https://time.com/...  #aiethics #aifairness  —  [images] Bluesky: Margaret Mitchell / @mmitchell.bsky.s...

Karya tries to debunk this myth by paying $5/hour (20-30x local minimum wage). This is great in comparison to other BPOs but incredibly cheap for clients who concentrate wealth and power in the AI industry. So the question is: if not Karya, who profits from these workers' labor?

Finally, I want to highlight that AI is always “BY the people.” But before claiming that it is also “FOR the people,” we need to ask who owns the technologies that are fuelled by data workers. The answer probably doesn't include “the people.”

This isn't philanthropy. The AI industry needs this labor as much as impoverished communities need jobs. So the question remains: who produces the models that require these workers' expertise and who profits from the “low-skill” narrative?
