Ephantus will also shine a light on the inspiring efforts of data labelers worldwide to build a fairer, more just digital economy.

In his masterclass, “Beyond the Algorithm: The Global Supply Chain of Human Labor for AI”, he will expose the dangerous, underpaid work behind AI systems, data labeling and content moderation, tracing it to histories of gendered and colonial exploitation.

We’re the first worker-led association representing Kenya’s data labeling workforce.
Rooted in solidarity and dignity, DLA is built by and for data workers — the people behind AI.
We fight for:
✔ Fair pay
✔ Safe working conditions
✔ Recognition and inclusion in AI’s future

The Worldcoin ruling is a signal:
🛑 No more opaque data collection
🛑 No more exploitation of low-income workers
🛑 No more secret monitoring tools
We need enforceable standards for data ethics and labor protections in AI development.

To make it worse: many platforms install covert monitoring software on annotators' devices—watching clicks, screens, even personal data—without clear consent.
That’s surveillance, not productivity tracking.

Data annotators worldwide work on facial scans, surveillance footage, LIDAR, and more—without knowing how the data will be used.
We label, transcribe, and annotate the world—yet we're rarely told why, for whom, or with what impact.

Worldcoin used high-tech orbs to scan irises in exchange for crypto—without full disclosure or consent. The court ruled this violated Kenya’s Data Protection Act.
This isn’t just about one company. It’s about how data is collected, stored, and abused.
