A FORÇA DE TRABALHO OCULTA NA ERA DA INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL: UM ESTUDO SOBRE AS POSSÍVEIS ILEGALIDADES VINCULADAS À CONTRATAÇÃO DOS ABASTECEDORES DE DADOS

Abstract

The relationship between man and work has presented various nuances during human historical and social evolution. However, it is undeniable that work has been responsible for human cognitive development since its embryonic stage. Today, socalled Artificial Intelligences (AIs) seek to replicate the logic of thought, but they rely on databases to present these results. It is in this context that data providers emerge, who are the people responsible for feeding the systems of these machines. In view of this, this work is born with the mission of analyzing the existence of possible labor irregularities in this new profession and, based on this, understanding how the law becomes in the face of this. To this end, the hypothetical-deductive method is used, insofar as, starting from the general understanding of the value and dignity of work present in the constitutional text and in international instruments, we seek to verify the possible invisibilization of the work of data suppliers and the consequences of this phenomenon for the hyposufficient party and, by logic, for society. In terms of procedural methods, the focus is on historical, comparative and statistical methods. As for research techniques, indirect documentation is used, since the sources consist of primary documentary research, such as international reports on the working conditions of data suppliers and relevant legislation. In addition, bibliographic research was used to analyze publications such as books, theses, scientific articles and other materials related to the topic. As a result, it can be seen that professionals in this field, as a rule, have many characteristics in common, such as geolocation and socioeconomic status. However, at both national and international level, there is a general lack of attention to the class of data providers, something that hurts the dignity of workers and goes against the notion of decent work, both of which are defended in local legislation and international instruments. This is due not only to the lack of discussion in society, but also to the negligible attention paid to the issue by the government.
