Collage. Merging circuit board patterns with textile motifs in a grid-like background. Two arms are on each side, positioned as if gently pulling on strings that cross the image diagonally. The hands contrast with the rigid lines of the circuit board patterns behind them. The strings are woven through the hands and background, symbolising the connection between traditional weaving and modern technology. © Hanna Barakat & Archival Images of AI + AIxDESIGN

One year ago, on #LaborDay, we launched Data Workers' Inquiry. The process was messy and uncertain, but driven by the need to do research differently.

I wrote a reflection on what this first year taught us:
data-workers.org/about/how-to...

Thanks for reading and for supporting this work.
Screenshot of the blogpost: How We Made Data Workers' Inquiry, by Milagros Miceli, DWI’s Principal Investigator and Project Lead. This piece traces how Data Workers' Inquiry came to life: not as a project with clear answers, but as a messy, stubborn attempt to put research in the hands of the people living the realities researchers usually write about

Do you want all your Facebook and Instagram photos, posts and data to be used by Meta to train AI?

If not, then *now* is the time to object.

This article explains how.

Meta starts AI training with personal data - those who want to object must act quickly (english version)
Meta AI will be trained from May with posts, photos and comments from Facebook and Instagram users
