“…The case pushes us to see beyond the AI, to question how humans are participants in maintaining automated services, as objects of data collection and processing, in making sense of data and making decisions about data, and in implementing decisions. The case highlights how the organisational arrangements of AI training both work with and interfere in political-economic incentives and pressures, such as platformization (Srnicek, 2017) and the cascading logic of automating data production, processing and use (Andrejevic, 2016), which often seem omnipresent and incontestable. Here we follow seminal research that highlights not only human involvement in technological processes, but how humans are involved and thereby implicated in such processes (Suchman 1987).…”

What does digital piecework have in common with laboring in the warehouse of a large online shopping platform? How is data cleaning related to digitization work and AI training in prisons? This panel suggests bringing these diverse ways of laboring in the digital economies together by considering these practices as infrastructural labor that takes the shape of shadow work (Illich, 1981) and ghost labor (Gray & Suri, 2019). Work and labor in modern, capitalist society imply power, authority and possibility for resistance, and these dimensions are crucial for understanding why and how infrastructures are realized and how they work. Infrastructure labor is ambiguous. It is both visible and invisible depending on the specific tasks and their inherent power relations (Leigh Star & Strauss, 1999). It includes both manual and cognitive labor. It is geared towards innovation as well as repair, maintenance and servitude. The panel aims to paint the contours of infrastructural labor at the margins of digital economies pointing towards forms of alienation and resistance that have for long been part of labor relations, but that are renegotiated in the context of emerging technologies within digital economies that need human labor to be sustained and further innovated.
