How AI Exploits

Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a driver of innovation and progress. However, behind these promised benefits lies a reality of exploitation, especially in Africa. Much of the continent's workforce already faces precarious working conditions, and AI supply chains further deepen inequalities. The sector is lacking both transparency and adequate regulation. Workers' rights should be addressed urgently in this evolving technological landscape.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a driver of innovation and progress. However, behind these promised benefits lies a reality of exploitation, especially in Africa. Much of the continent's workforce already faces precarious working conditions, and AI supply chains further deepen inequalities. The sector is lacking both transparency and adequate regulation. Workers' rights should be addressed urgently in this evolving technological landscape.
