#OpenAI Used Kenyan Workers on Less Than $2 Per Hour to Make #ChatGPT Less Toxic
"Data workers, for their part, have formed collectives to fight back against platforms and their worst excesses. In Kenya, Daniel Motaung and 150 workers convened in Nairobi in mid-2023 to form the African Content Moderators Union, which is one of the first unions of content moderators and data workers worldwide. Motaung was fired from Sama, the contractor providing Facebook (and, previously, OpenAl) with content moderation and other data work, for his organizing efforts, and is now suing Facebook and Sama in Kenyan court."

El kiosko de la música en el parque Dorado, en #Sama de #Langreo, #Asturias, #España. Fue testigo (¡y no siempre mudo! 😉 ) de muchos días felices de mi infancia y juventud.

«La Carbonera», in the Dorado park, in Sama de Langreo (Asturias, #Spain). Officially, it is the monument to Luis Adaro. Made in 1918 by the Sevillian sculptor Lorenzo Coullaut-Valera, it pays tribute to Luis Adaro y Magro, an illustrious leader, engineer and businessman, of great importance for the mining development of Asturias. However, the main role has always been played by the woman who collects coal and who has ended up giving its name to the complex, which has probably become the first monument to working women to be found in Spain.
Sama Takes Off: Qatar Airways Introduces the First Digital Cabin Crew Member on Instagram
Imagine getting a peek into the world of a flight attendant. I mean, really get a peek into their world? Well, Qatar Airways has just taken that to a whole new level. They’ve introduced Sama, the world’s very first digital human cabin crew member. How amazing is that?
Sama is not your average Instagram influencer. She’s an AI-powered digital creation who will be sharing her experiences on social media. Think of it: a digital ambassador for an airline! It’s a bold move.
You can find her on Instagram at @SamaOnTheMove. There, she’ll be posting all sorts of travel-related content. Are you curious about what kind of content she’ll be creating? It will be a mix of travel tips, personal stories from her layovers, and a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a cabin crew member. It’s like getting the inside scoop, straight from the source… well, a digital source, anyway.
Sama, the world’s first AI-powered digital human cabin crew member at Qatar AirwaysIt’s not just about the tips and tricks, though. Sama is designed to bring a human touch to the whole AI thing. Qatar Airways wants to show how they’re connecting technology with real-life experiences. It’s a way to make their brand feel more relatable and engaging.
Babar Rahman, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Qatar Airways, said that Sama is a reflection of how they see the future of travel. He says that it should be personal, engaging, and connected to the experiences that truly matter. It’s a pretty big statement when you think about it. He thinks Sama is more than just a digital creation. She is a way for the airline to humanize their brand.
Sama was first unveiled at ITB Berlin 2024. People were quite impressed by the idea of a digital human cabin crew member. And now, she’s taking off on social media! Qatar Airways wants to reach out to a new generation of travelers through content that is inspiring and relatable.
Imagine scrolling through your feed and seeing Sama in Paris, discovering a hidden café. Or maybe she’s sharing tips about how to navigate a new city. She might even give you a glimpse of what her life in the skies is really like. Through it all, she’ll be highlighting Qatar Airways’ massive network of over 170 destinations. She’ll invite her followers to explore new cultures, uncover traditions, and see the world from her perspective. Doesn’t that sound tempting?
So, if you’re keen to see what the future of travel storytelling looks like, give Sama a follow. It’s a brand new way of looking at travel and a fresh approach to creating connections between an airline and its audience.
And speaking of Qatar Airways, did you know they are a multi-award-winning airline? They were recently named “World’s Best Airline” for an unprecedented eighth time at the 2024 World Airline Awards. That’s pretty impressive. They won that title in 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2024. So you could say they’ve kind of got this “best airline” thing down. They also took home the “World’s Best Business Class”, “World’s Best Business Class Airline Lounge”, and “Best Airline in the Middle East” awards.
They’re not just winning awards for their service though. They also won the “World’s Best Airline Website” award. This proves that they are leaders in industry innovation and digital adoption. Did you know that they are also leaders in environmental responsibility? They were the first airline in the Middle East to receive the highest level of IATA’s Environmental Assessment program. On top of that, they are committed to preventing illegal wildlife trafficking in aviation.
Qatar Airways flies to over 170 destinations around the world. They have their hub at Hamad International Airport, which was voted “World’s Best Airport” by Skytrax in 2021, 2022, and 2024. Hamad also received the “Best Airport in the Middle East” accolade for ten consecutive years, plus the “World’s Best Airport Shopping” award for the second year in a row.
It looks like this airline is hitting all the right spots, doesn’t it? From a cool digital cabin crew member to award-winning services, Qatar Airways is making headlines. What do you think? Are you excited to see what Sama will be sharing on her adventures? Even though many people are still quite skeptical about AI characters, I think it’s a very innovative idea that’s worth keeping an eye on!

Meta has so many blood on their hands, that it is unbelievable people are still using their products. And also don't forget companies like Sama, who are also into the #AI scam. Using people from the global south for mentally damaging (and underpaid) social media moderation and AI training! Just 🛑 STOP using #Meta products! Yes that means #Instagram, #Threads and #WhatsApp as well!

@magdalenahai #Sama! Latasin keittimen valmiiksi, kun lähdettiin lenkille ja kävin napauttamassa päälle, kun tultiin kotio, ja sopivasti oli porissut siksi, kun sain Laikan kuivattua kurasta ja vedestä.
„Depression, Angststörungen, Traumata: Bei mehr als 140 ehemaligen Content-Moderator:innen wurden schwere Folgeschäden ihrer Arbeit festgestellt. In #Kenia verklagen sie ihre ehemaligen Arbeitgeber, den Plattformkonzern #Meta und die Outsourcing-Firma Sama….“

Not exactly the same, but comparable with the outsourcing of social media moderation to e.g. the Philippines (source: The Cleaners). Remember that also #Instagram and probably also #Bluesky are making use of outsourcing. Using probably the same specialized outsourcing companies like #Sama. This is corporate social media at their worst. You don't even need to be an anti-capitalist to despise this.

@magdalenahai #Sama. Mutta kun ennen niitä päikkäreitä on väsynyt jakso, jolloin ei jaksa tehdä mitään, mutta ei vielä nukuta niin paljoa, että saisi otettua niitä päikkäreitä.
