Abstract: 1. AI’s safety and reliability depend on a globally distributed workforce 2. Data workers feel an ambivalence towards their work: operating in a space of tension between monotonous and potentially emotionally taxing work, and feelings of individual and collective agency in contributing to new tech. 3. The space of tension opens up a space for thinking productively about the importance of data work and the active role data workers can play in shaping AI development.
