Paola Tubaro is currently a Research Scientist at CNRS, Paris, France, after a career as a Reader at the University of Greenwich, London. An economist and sociologist, she researches the effects of digital technologies on organizations, labor relationships and social cohesion.

Paola Tubaro's presentation will discuss how human work underpins apparently automated systems. Through specialized digital platforms, crowds of contributors perform preparatory online tasks within larger data processing operations, in support of machine learning algorithms. But most of these contributors are people who struggle to make ends meet, and the tasks they do are mostly unqualified and low-paid. Thus, their working conditions should be part of any reflection on fair and responsible AI.
