Antonio Casilli, professor and researcher at DiPLab, appeared in a recent episode of Le Iene, Italy’s well-known investigative television program, as part of an in-depth report on the working conditions of people who train artificial intelligence systems in Nairobi, Kenya. No Caption No Caption No Caption No Caption The report focuses on the human infrastructure behind AI technologies: men and women who label data, moderate content, and refine algorithms, often working for major multinational companies under precarious conditions. Casilli contributed his analysis to help contextualize this hidden economy and explain the structural dynamics that shape it. A significant part of the investigation takes place in Nairobi, Kenya, where many of these tasks are outsourced. The report documents how local workers are employed to train algorithms for low pay, performing repetitive and psychologically demanding work that makes AI systems appear more “intelligent.” Through on-the-ground reporting and interviews, journalist Nicola Barraco examines the economic and human costs embedded in today’s AI supply chains. Casilli’s intervention situates these testimonies within a broader critique of the global AI industry. The segment underscores a central question: as artificial intelligence becomes more powerful and profitable, who bears the real cost of its development? By bringing visibility to this hidden labor, Le Iene contributes to a growing international debate on ethics, accountability, and working conditions in the AI economy.
