Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)

Good. There was previously a push, pre AI becoming as dominant as it is, to stop the outsourcing. There have been repeated issues of content moderator people all being outsourced by these big companies. Again, pre AI, people had to watch horrendous videos because someone had to watch them, but it was all outsourced. It is a way for the big multinationals to avoid responsibility. Does the Minister of State agree that these jobs should be brought in-house and, therefore, there will be a clear chain of responsibility from the big tech corporations to the workers who are doing this very difficult work?
