This paper sheds light on the role of digital platform labour in development today’s artificial intelligence, predicated data-intensive machine learning algorithms. Focus is specific ways which outsourcing data tasks to myriad ‘micro-workers’, recruited and managed through specialized platforms, powers virtual assistants, self-driving vehicles connected objects. Using qualitative from multiple sources, we show that micro-work performs a variety functions, between three poles label,...
2020 marks the 25th anniversary of “digital divide.” Although a quarter century has passed, legacy digital inequalities continue, and emergent are proliferating. Many initial schisms identified in 1995 still relevant today. Twenty-five years later, foundational access continue to separate haves have-nots within across countries. In addition, even ubiquitous-access populations riven with skill differentiated usage. Indeed, persist vis-à-vis economic class, gender, sexuality, race ethnicity,...
In this article, we argue that new kinds of risk are emerging with the COVID-19 virus, and these risks unequally distributed. As expose to view, digital inequalities social rendering certain subgroups significantly more vulnerable exposure COVID-19. Vulnerable populations bearing disproportionate include isolated, older adults, penal system subjects, digitally disadvantaged students, gig workers, last-mile workers. Therefore, map out intersection between factors on each in order examine how...
Marking the 25th anniversary of “digital divide,” we continue our metaphor digital inequality stack by mapping out rapidly evolving nature using a broad lens. We tackle complex, and often unseen, inequalities spawned platform economy, automation, big data, algorithms, cybercrime, cybersafety, gaming, emotional well-being, assistive technologies, civic engagement, mobility. These are woven throughout in many ways including differentiated access, use, consumption, literacies, skills,...
The current hype around artificial intelligence (AI) conceals the substantial human intervention underlying its development. This article lifts veil on precarious and low-paid 'data workers' who prepare data to train, test, check, otherwise support models in shadow of globalized AI production. We use original questionnaire interview collected from 220 workers Argentina (2021-22), 477 Brazil (2023), 214 Venezuela (2021-22). compare them detect common patterns reveal specificities work Latin...
The paper investigates the place of visual tools in mixed-methods research on social networks, arguing that they can not only improve communicability results, but also support at data gathering and analysis stages. Three examples from authors’ own experience illustrate how sociograms be integrated multiple ways with other analytical tools, both quantitative qualitative, positioning visualization intersection varied methods channelling substantive ideas as well network insight a coherent way....
This article extends the economic-sociological concept of embeddedness to encompass not only social networks of, for example, friendship or kinship ties, but also economic ownership and control relationships. Applying these ideas case digital platform labour pinpoints two possible scenarios. When platforms take role market intermediaries, ties are thin workers left their own devices, in a form ‘disembeddedness’. partake intricate inter-firm outsourcing structures, envelop ‘deep embeddedness’...
The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a large amount of experimental and observational studies reporting clear correlation between the risk developing severe (or dying from it) whether individual is male or female. This paper an attempt to explain supposed vulnerability using causal approach. We proceed by identifying set confounding mediating factors, based on review epidemiological literature analysis sex-dis-aggregated data. Those factors are then taken into consideration produce explainable...
The article presents a method to elicit personal network data in Internet surveys, exploiting the renowned appeal of visualizations reduce respondent burden and risk dropout. It is participant-generated computer-based sociogram, an interactive graphical interface enabling participants draw their own networks with simple intuitive tools. In study users websites on eating disorders, we have embedded sociogram within two-step approach aiming first broad ego individual then extract subsets...

This article examines the organisational and geographical forces that shape supply chains of artificial intelligence (AI) through outsourced offshored data work. Bridging sociological theories relational inequalities embeddedness with critical approaches to Global Value Chains, we conduct a global case study digitally enabled organisation work in France, Madagascar, Venezuela. The AI procure via mix arm's length contracts marketplace-like platforms, embedded firm-like structures offer...
ABSTRACT Data workers use digital platforms to perform on‐demand online tasks for technology industries, in a competitive landscape that extends beyond national borders and drives down remunerations. Using mixed‐method approach combines survey data in‐depth interviews, this article explores the emergence of labour agency among Spanish‐speaking Latin America, with focus on crisis‐stricken Venezuela. Results show actively develop practices resilience, reworking, and, lesser extent, resistance...
Around the world, myriad workers perform micro-tasks on online platforms to train and calibrate artificial intelligence solutions.Despite its apparent openness anyone with basic skills, this form of crowd-work fails fill gender gaps, may even exacerbate them.We demonstrate result in three steps.First, inequalities both professional domestic spheres turn micro-tasking into a 'third shift' that adds already heavy schedules.Second, human social capital male female differ-leaving women fewer...
Bridging the social networks, field methods and ethics literatures, I make case that process of reporting research findings is an ethical issue, recommend elevating it in design. draw on a reflective account three experiences with settings in, respectively, online health communities, economic organizations, mainstream media. proceed steps, discussing release personal network results to individual participants, whole researched community, finally general wider audiences, under unifying idea...
‘Micro-work’ consists of fragmented data tasks that myriad providers execute on online platforms. While crucial to the development data-based technologies, this poorly visible and geographically spread activity is particularly difficult measure. To fill gap, we combined qualitative quantitative methods (online surveys, in-depth interviews, capture-recapture techniques web traffic analytics) count micro-workers in a single country, France. On basis analysis, estimate approximately 260,000...
In this paper, we analyze the recessionary effects of COVID-19 pandemic on digital platform workers. The crisis has been described as a great work-from-home experiment, with ecosystems presenting its most advanced form. Our analysis differentiates direct (health) and indirect (economic) risks incurred by workers in order to critically assess portrayal platforms buffers against crisis-induced layoffs. We submit that platform-mediated labor may eventually increase precarity, without...
