UNI Global Union is pleased to invite you to a breakfast side event at the UN Forum on Business on Human Rights.
When: Wednesday 26th October, 8.00-9.30am
Where: Flory Room at the John Knox International Centre, 27 chemin des Crêts de Pregny, 1218 Grand-Saconnex, Geneva
Following Monday’s main session, “Safeguarding Human Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”, this side evet will take a closer look at the labour behind AI. While much attention has been given to the design, deployment, and use of AI systems, far less focus has been placed on the workers powering them behind the scenes.
In this session, the panel will aim to introduce participants to the AI data supply chain and examine how major tech companies rely – via third party providers – on a vast, mostly hidden, supply chain of data labelers, annotators and content moderators to train their AI models, often replicating models of outsourcing familiar in manufacturing industries.
Participants will hear directly from a data worker about the working conditions they experience, and the discussion will explore potential pathways forward to prevent existing inequalities becoming further embedded in the development of AI and the role investors, businesses, and civil society can play in building fairer, more transparent digital value chains.
