DiPLab’s Antonio A. Casilli was invited to speak on Pillole di Eta Beta, the technology programme broadcast on Italy’s RAI Radio 3, in an episode that opens with a striking new phenomenon: in Los Angeles, people are being paid to simply live their lives on camera. Wearing body-mounted cameras and sensor bracelets, workers film themselves doing household chores. Thousands of US workers have already been recruited for this work, paid a few dozen dollars for hours of first-person footage that becomes raw material for the next generation of autonomous machines. For Casilli, what is unfolding in Los Angeles is the latest iteration of a phenomenon that has involved millions of workers across Asia, Africa, and Latin America for over a decade: training algorithms, labeling images, moderating content. A digital proletariat that the technology industry systematically erases from its triumphant narrative. And yet without it, none of its products would function. The episode also raises a harder question about users. Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go, recently sold 30 billion video sequences, captured from players navigating the real world through augmented reality, to a robotics delivery company. Millions of people filmed streets, parks, and shops without knowing their footage would end up training autonomous delivery systems.

DiPLab’s Thomas Le Bonniec is the central voice in a new mini-series on Le Code a Changé (France Inter), one of France’s leading technology radio programs. Across three episodes, host Xavier de La Porte draws on Le Bonniec’s research and personal trajectory to examine one of the most urgent questions facing Europe today: what does it mean to be technologically dependent on American Big Tech, and what, if anything, can be done about it? Episode 1 — The Omnibus directive: a threat to personal data The series opens with the EU’s proposed Digital Omnibus directive, which Le Bonniec describes as a potential “oil spill on our personal data.” Framed by European policymakers as a simplification measure to ease regulatory burden on businesses, the directive risks quietly dismantling core protections established by the GDPR. Le Bonniec’s concern is that the directive introduces a subjective definition of personal data, allowing companies to decide for themselves whether the data they hold qualifies for protection. The right of access (one of European personal data protection pillars) is directly threatened. “You cannot be a free citizen if you are under constant surveillance,” he warns. “Mass surveillance, when named as such, tends to be associated with states… but corporations are just as capable of it.” Episode 2 — America, digital colonizer The second episode widens the lens. Le Bonniec traces a convergence between Silicon Valley’s techno-solutionist ideology and the political currents of Trumpism. Both share a vision of history in which a self-appointed elite carries the future of humanity on its shoulders. Europe’s digital dependency is not merely industrial, he argues: it is political. The erosion of European values and the mass capture of European data by American platforms represent a form of domination that too many European leaders continue to underestimate. Episode 3 — Story of a whistleblower The final episode is the most personal. Le Bonniec speaks from direct experience: he previously worked as a subcontractor for Apple, listening to recordings captured by voice assistants without users’ knowledge. Despite repeated scandals implicating Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft in mass data collection, no meaningful sanctions have followed. His conclusion is not resignation but a call for collective action: stop blaming individuals for structural problems, invest in free and open-source software as a path to sovereignty, and consider dismantling digital monopolies rather than merely regulating them.

Antonio Casilli from the DiPLab appeared on Rai Radio 3 Scienza to discuss RentAHuman, a job listing platform that claims to be operated by “AI agents.” Casilli characterized the platform as potentially misleading: a service that markets itself with the rhetoric of artificial intelligence but may in reality rely entirely on human labor. He suggested that the site’s goal could be to attract investors with promises of cutting-edge technology, while offering little substantive innovation. The conversation raises broader questions about the way AI is leveraged in contemporary digital platforms. RentAHuman exemplifies a recurring pattern in which the promise of automation is used as a marketing tool, often obscuring the actual labor dynamics behind the service. For those interested in hearing Casilli’s analysis firsthand, the episode is available as a podcast:
