The book "Feeding the Machine" uncovers the truth behind the illusion created by Big Tech about artificial intelligence. Contrary to the image of smooth and prosperous technology, it appears that millions of workers work in poor conditions to realize this technology. Through urgent and captivating research, the book explores the complex network of organizations that maintain this exploitative system, revealing unknown truths about artificial intelligence. Based on hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of field research spanning over a decade, the book depicts the lives of workers who often try to hide from attention and the power systems that determine their future. It highlights how artificial intelligence functions as an extraction machine, using increasingly larger datasets and exploiting the labor and collective intelligence of humanity to fuel its algorithms. "Feeding the Machine" is a cry against this exploitative system and presents what we need to do, individually and collectively, to fight for a fairer digital future.
