Kenya's Kakuma refugees power tech microwork for dwindling, uncertain pay
Original title‘Someone else will do it for less’: refugees in Kenya are powering tech for dwindling pay
AISummary
Refugees in Kenya's Kakuma camp are doing AI-related microwork, such as research for RWS's AOP Connect platform, where pay comes as discretionary "rewards" of up to $500 rather than guaranteed wages.
Interviews with more than two dozen refugees found most earn far less than the maximum, and entry-level remote tech work is shrinking. Refugees who are unable to legally work in Kenya say they accept these gigs despite opaque pay criteria.
