The ‘modern-day slaves’ of the AI tech world

In 2027, virtual assistants like Sarah seamlessly handle our daily tasks, making life appear effortless.

But behind this technological marvel lies a hidden reality. This documentary unveils the untold story of the ghost workers who power our digital world, performing the tedious and often traumatic tasks that machines can’t handle.

Meet the invisible workforce behind tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon and Uber. These underpaid and disposable workers label images, moderate content and train AI systems, often earning less than minimum wage.

Their work is essential yet remains in the shadows, unacknowledged by the companies that depend on them.
