The training of artificial intelligence systems has become increasingly dependent on human labor, but a troubling pattern is emerging: much of this work is being outsourced to gig workers in the Global South at minimal pay. Zeus, a medical student in Nigeria, exemplifies this trend—he records videos of himself performing physical movements from his apartment, using just an iPhone and ring light, to train humanoid robots. This work represents a critical yet largely invisible component of AI development, where companies like Figure AI and others source motion-capture data from remote workers who are compensated far below what similar work would cost in developed nations.
