By Sonny J. Cotter

In the age of artificial intelligence, the world marvels at the innovation of chatbots, self-driving cars, and advanced medical diagnostics.

The Invisible Workers Behind AI reveals the hidden workforce in Kenya, whose relentless effort is the backbone of the AI revolution.

From labeling images to moderating graphic content, these "humans in the loop" perform the grunt work that trains and refines AI systems for tech giants like Meta, OpenAI, and Google. But what does it cost them? This book takes you into the lives of these digital laborers, uncovering the stark realities of poverty wages, inhumane working conditions, and the emotional toll of moderating violent and explicit content.
