Data Is Labor

Essays on Distributing Value to the PeopleBy James Felton KeithRecorded Track
Length5h 42m

About this audiobook

How is data labor? The economic definition of productivity is "a measure of inputs", which in the old economy, included both materials and labor. In the new economy, information is traded as a material, and people's data are also inputs to productive goods. Information as small as personal data is often at the root of the creation of goods. It helps products and services come to market more effectively and efficiently.In this new age of Artificial Intelligence, join James Felton Keith as he explores the notion that your personal data is actually what's growing the modern economy... The notion that your data is the catalyst for labor to both consume and produce goods... And also explore how data collectives and unions can help distribute the value that has been generated by your input to productivity, back to you.
