Mapping AI: Labor

March 4, 2026
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
America/New_York
Fayerweather Hall, 1180 Amsterdam Ave., New York, NY 10027 Room 513

This workshop explores multiple forms of labor exploitation at play in developing AI, from underpaid classification work to the theft of intellectual property, in addition to murky contracts and influence of AI on university labor.

This event also continues work started in February on the AI map, now adding the kinds of contracts Columbia has with vendors of AI tools, interventions into the availability of participants' content as training data, and/or identifications of data sources and kinds of work around the university.
