AI Salon: Trustworthy AI Futures - London Meetup | October 2024
Join us for the next AI Salon, where we’ll dive into the critical, yet often overlooked, role of human labor in the AI pipeline. This event will explore the vital contributions of data workers, particularly those involved in the data collection, curation, and validation stages, who form the backbone of ethical AI development.
To ground the conversation, we will begin with a brief presentation that will explore the landscape of human labor within the AI supply chain, highlighting insights from Prolific, a platform committed to ethical, diverse, and high-quality data sourcing for AI systems.
As the AI industry scales, the demand for varied, ethically sourced human data has never been greater. Yet, the labor involved in this data pipeline remains largely hidden, unstandardized, and unprotected. We’ll discuss key issues such as the implications of this invisibility for fairness and accountability, the importance of ethical treatment and fair compensation for data workers, and the standards we hope to set for a responsible AI future. We’ll also explore how different organizations approach these challenges by implementing frameworks for fair remuneration, providing support for the emotional toll that data work can carry, and engaging with initiatives such as the Responsible Sourcing Across the Data Supply Line project by the Partnership on AI.
Key Themes:
Ethical and diverse data sourcing in AI development
The hidden labor and emotional impact of data work
Building frameworks for responsible scaling in AI’s supply chain
We’re looking forward to engaging with you in an open discussion on these critical topics. Let’s reimagine the AI pipeline together—one that is fair, visible, and responsible. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with others passionate about the future of ethical AI!
