Their Eyes

© Don Quichotte Films

How does a machine learn to read the world? In a series of testimonies and screen recordings, clickworkers from the Global South talk about their daily work. Their job is to analyse, edit and label countless images of traffic on the streets of the Global North with the aim of training the AI of self-driving cars to navigate. In transnational chat rooms, the clickworkers imagine micro-strategies to hack the system that is exploiting them.
