Description
THE DATA WORKERS' INQUIRY, BY NAME, ON GOOGLE'S AI OVERVIEW, SIGNED OUT, 2026-10-29: 'a global, participatory research initiative that empowers data labelers, content moderators, and digital platform workers to investigate and document the hidden, precarious labor behind artificial intelligence.' Method (Workers' Inquiry as a Research Methodology, after Marx's 1880 Workers' Inquiry), epistemic authority with the workers, the outputs (zines, documentaries, comics), the countries, the conditions documented (low pay, the Remotasks shutdown in Kenya, trauma, NDAs, rejections, data extraction), the partners and the unions. Eleven cards, the project's own site and DAIR's and Weizenbaum's pages among them.
Reading
The innocent reading first. Asked for the Data Workers' Inquiry, the Overview says what it is, how it works and what its inquiries document, from the project's own pages and those of its two institutes.
Analysis
A worker-led research project is composed as such, its authority placed with the workers in the composition's own words. The composition carries one inquirer's findings as the project's, adds one figure no source holds, and leaves the inquiries' scale unstated; the record's limit, that each inquiry speaks for its author, would bound the first.
