Tech Bros Are Exploiting Kenyan Poverty For AI And Paying Bonuses In Fried Chicken

From CBS News And 60 Minutes

Being overworked, underpaid, and ill-treated is not what Kenyan workers had in mind when they were lured by U.S. companies with jobs in AI.

Kenyan civil rights activist Nerima Wako-Ojiwa said the workers' desperation, in a country with high unemployment, led to a culture of exploitation with unfair wages and no job security.

"It's terrible to see just how many American companies are just doing wrong here," Wako-Ojiwa said. "And it's something that they wouldn't do at home, so why do it here?"
