The Indian workers filming their work to train AI

Mohammed Ashim is paid to film his hands at work, creating footage intended to train artificial intelligence systems.

A human task tied to AI development

The work places ordinary manual activity at the centre of an AI training process. Rather than producing software or handling data on a screen, Ashim’s role involves recording his hands as he works.

The available details do not identify who employs him, how much he is paid or which AI system will use the footage. They do show a direct connection between paid human labour and the material used to develop artificial intelligence.
