‘Someone else will do it for less’: Refugees in Kenya are powering tech for dwindling pay

Summary

Refugee gig workers in Kakuma, Kenya, complete data tasks for tech companies without knowing the client, the purpose of the work, or whether they will be paid. One worker, Grace, used ChatGPT to research translations of Christian hymns and fed her findings to AOP Connect, a crowdsourced research platform owned by RWS. Refugees cannot legally work in Kenya, which leaves them with few options.
