Their Eyes
Nicolas Gourault / France / 2025 / 23 min
Digital workers from Third World countries are hired online to label images from Google Maps in order to train artificial intelligence. The film becomes a good opportunity for reflection both on the neoslavery of online jobs and on cultural differences.
About the film
Behind the technology mapping the world is the invisible labor of people in economically marginalized countries. They edit and label Street View images to feed AI systems. The film follows their strategies for adapting to an exploitative system, while also showing how they maintain dignity. Through these stories, it opens a reflection on global inequalities, hidden labor, and the human cost of the modern digital world.
