#AI #GenerativeAI #Outsourcing #OffShoring #Automation: "Since the blockbuster launch of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, future-of-work pontificators, AI ethicists, and Silicon Valley developers have been fiercely debating how generative AI will impact the way we work. Some six months later, one global labor force is at the frontline of the generative AI revolution: offshore outsourced workers.

These include workers hired per commission or on a contractual basis, such as freelance copywriters, artists, and software developers, as well as more formal offshore workforces like customer service agents. As generative AI tools present a new model for cost cutting, pressure is quickly mounting for these outsourced workers to adapt or risk losing work.

Rest of World spoke to outsourced workers across different industries and regions, including call center operators in Manila, programmers in Lahore, and designers in Cairo. Many said they are already seeing generative AI change the demand for their work and the stability of their income. But while some brace for layoffs or diminishing commissions, others have embraced generative AI tools in an effort to keep ahead of the curve. If generative AI represents a tectonic shift in the way we work, offshore outsourced workers are at the fault lines."

#Outsourcing und #Offshoring heisst immer, dass aus meiner Sicht unnötig viele Menschen Zugriff haben. #Cloud heisst ausserdem, dass die Speicherung und Verarbeitung effizienter werden, was der Datenminimierung fundamental entgegenläuft.

Deshalb ist mir auch ein Datenschutz dienlich, der die Speicherung und Verarbeitung meiner Personendaten einfach nur teurer macht.

🚂 Apparently Kotlin isn't big with offshoring agencies south of the border. They probably thrive on billing Java to corporate clients.

☣️ Almost like a toxic incentive to keep Java projects afloat, even if the pipeline of Java talent is getting older and more expensive. Not sure how long they can keep this up tbh.

A reminder for those celebrating the rise of #workingfromhome

If you can do your job from anywhere, someone for anywhere can do your job!.

#capitalism has a long history of finding cheap(er) labour & working from home has merely opened up the middle-class to the pressures the working class has been subjected to over decades of #globalisation

The globalised 'efficiency' of such moves has had & continues to have major local consequences.

Even for information workers, #offshoring is a thing!

@deightonrobbie @JohanEmpa Likewise, when the company has HQ in the EU or the UK but they are #offshoring #production, where do you account it for? I think companies must be made accountable for the full #productlifecycle, and not least, PAY FOR IT
(at the moment in the UK the cost of #recyling all the plastic crap is on #localauthorities rather than on #manufacturers. I know that burden has changed to manufacturers in the EU, not if foreign).

This discussion gets to the meat and potatoes very quickly.

The low inflation in the past decade is false, again CPI gets #hedonicAdjustments so things that do go up in price, like #assets are omitted from the #basketOfGoods.

Products on shelves being kept somewhat cheap is a by-product of #offshoring, precarious just in time structures, #environmental abuses, #humanTrafficking and migrant abuse, outright #fraud and…1/2
