Big Tech has sold us the illusion that artificial intelligence is a frictionless technology that will bring wealth and prosperity to humanity. But hidden beneath this smooth surface lies the grim reality of a precarious global workforce of millions that labour under often appalling conditions to make AI possible.Feeding the Machine presents an urgent, riveting investigation of the intricate network of organisations that maintain this exploitative system, revealing the untold truth of AI. Based on hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of fieldwork over more than a decade, this book shows us the lives of the workers often deliberately concealed from view and the systems of power that determine their future.

What is life like for workers in the gig economy? Is it a paradise of flexibility and individual freedom? Or is it a world of exploitation and conflict? Callum Cant took a job with one of the most prominent platforms, Deliveroo, to find out. His vivid account of the reality is grim. Workers are being tyrannised by algorithms and exploited for the profit of the few – but they are not taking it lying down. Cant reveals a transnational network of encrypted chats and informal groups which have given birth to a wave of strikes and protests. Far from being atomised individuals helpless in the face of massive tech companies, workers are tearing up the rulebook and taking back control. New developments in the workplace are combining to produce an explosive subterranean class struggle – where the stakes are high, and the risks are higher. Riding for Deliveroo is the first portrait of a new generation of working class militants. Its mixture of compelling first-hand testimony and engaging analysis is essential for anyone wishing to understand class struggle in platform capitalism.

For readers of Naomi Klein and Nicole Perlroth, a myth-dissolving exposé of how artificial intelligence exploits human labor, and a resounding argument for a more equitable digital future.Silicon Valley has sold us the illusion that artificial intelligence is a frictionless technology that will bring wealth and prosperity to humanity. But hidden beneath this smooth surface lies the grim reality of a precarious global workforce of millions laboring under often appalling conditions to make A.I. possible. This book presents an urgent, riveting investigation of the intricate network that maintains this exploitative system, revealing the untold truth of A.I. Based on hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of fieldwork over more than a decade, Feeding the Machine describes the lives of the workers deliberately concealed from view, and the power structures that determine their future. It gives voice to the people whom A.I. exploits, from accomplished writers and artists to the armies of data annotators, content moderators and warehouse workers, revealing how their dangerous, low-paid labor is connected to longer histories of gendered, racialized, and colonial exploitation. A.I. is an extraction machine that feeds off humanity''s collective effort and intelligence, churning through ever-larger datasets to power its algorithms. This book is a call to arms that details what we need to do to fight for a more just digital future.

The Future in Our Past tells the story of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary. It is a compelling on-the-ground account of how workers brought the country to a standstill for nine extraordinary days. Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England. Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. The question of power hung in the air as rank-and-file militants pursued a chaotic, improvised and wildly uneven confrontation with the British ruling class.This is social history at its most immediate and relevant. Cant and Lee revisit the communities where the struggle burned brightest, uncovering the lessons the General Strike holds for labour movements today.

LA TECNOLOGÍA VISTA CON LOS OJOS DE LAS PERSONAS QUE LA PRODUCEN. «Arroja luz sobre los rincones más oscuros de esta "revolución" y expone su enorme costo humano. Qué libro tan importante». Stephen Fry «No tenía idea de la explotación humana y la codicia corporativa que impulsa el crecimiento de la IA. Gente que trabaja horas imposibles por salarios miserables, sólo para que podamos recibir nuestros pedidos un par de horas antes, mientras algún multimillonario se enriquece. Un libro extraordinario y esencial». Brian Eno El primer libro que cuenta las historias del ejército de trabajadores mal pagados y explotados que impulsan la inteligencia artificial. Las grandes tecnológicas nos han vendido la ilusión de que la inteligencia artificial es una herramienta que traerá riqueza y prosperidad a la humanidad. Pero escondida debajo de esta optimista superficie se encuentra la sombría realidad: una fuerza laboral precaria formada por millones de personas que trabajan en condiciones espantosas. Alimentar la máquina es una investigación urgente y fascinante sobre la intrincada red de organizaciones que mantiene este sistema en marcha. Basado en cientos de entrevistas y miles de horas de trabajo de campo, este libro muestra las vidas de los trabajadores y los sistemas de poder que determinan su futuro. Nos enseña, también, cómo la IA es una máquina de extracción que procesa conjuntos de datos cada vez más grandes y se alimenta del trabajo de la humanidad para impulsar sus algoritmos, y detalla lo que debemos hacer para luchar por un futuro digital más justo. Una denuncia del sistema que hace posible nuestra tecnología.
