The Workers at the Frontlines of the AI Revolution
The global labor force of outsourced and contract workers are early adopters of generative AI — and the most at risk
Medium, 2023
Aperçu
Generative AI offers new opportunities for some offshore workers, but threats of job displacement loom.
Recommendation
Offshore workers – from freelance creatives to call center clerks – find that generative AI affects them in different ways. Some boosted their earnings by quickly embracing AI tools. Others worry about layoffs or increased pressure to produce more work for less pay. In this nuanced Medium article, Andrew Deck, a Rest of the World reporter, interviews experts on the interplay between technology and labor as well as far-flung workers to show how generative AI is reshaping work. He draws from a survey of more than 31,000 tech, finance and media workers. His case histories of freelancers who compare their output with and without AI illustrate most vividly this rapid transition.
