Dataworkers Inquiry
The Data Workers inquiry is an attempt to adapt Marx’s 1880 Workers’ Inquiry to the phenomenon of data workers as both essential for contemporary AI applications yet precariously employed—if at all—and politically dispersed. We dedicate this page to reports, zines, documentaries, podcasts and more from the 15 data workers in Venezuela, Kenya and Syria telling their own stories.
