Dibner Discussion: Ghost Work & AI In-Person

Registration will open one month before the discussion date. Free pizza will be provided! Please take a look at our discussion guidelines and our running resourse document to check out previous discussion topics and resources.
Generative AI and other types of artificial intelligence often seem like magic when presented to end users. These products seem to work relatively seamlessly and the impression is that teams of software developers and engineers are solely responsible for their operation and maintenance. But what happens when ChatGPT or DallE produces concerning content? Who steps in to moderate posts on Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram? Ghost work is a term often used to refer to the unseen labor of people who are tasked with content moderation, labelling data for training datasets, and other tasks necessary for AI to function. In this month’s discussion we’ll learn more about ghost workers and discuss the role they play in AI.
