The Data Workers' Inquiry will launch July 8 with the first in a series of panels and talks. We worked with 15 data workers from 4 continents who developed research questions, wrote in depth reports, created zines, podcasts, documentaries and more. Watch this YouTube video and read this May Day interview with Mila for a short introduction to the project. Mila also wrote an article for Untold Magazine, describing how Syrian data workers label data for AI systems while being kept in the dark as to how this data will be used.

Dylan wrote detailed guidelines for software engineers performing social media research, given that, as his op-ed on Tech Policy Press discusses, social media companies make data access difficult for researchers working to hold them accountable.

We partnered with Collective Action in Tech to create a zine, “A Time Capsule of Workers' Stories in the Age of Generative AI.” You can download it on their website.

Speaking of zines, DAIR joined our collaborators to demand that the ACM FAccT Conference divest from apartheid, occupation and genocide. Find the zine at https://divest-facct.glitch.me/. Stay tuned for further reflections on the conference.
