我们开展了一项民族志研究,探讨一个公民科技倡议如何发展出一种替代性数据工作模式:为训练和评估在线安全系统构建数据集。该倡议从女性主义视角出发,通过与最受网络伤害影响的人群合作,共同构建安全数据集。本文考察这一方法如何将数据工作重新定位为修复与补偿的场所,并追踪其在实践中遇到的挑战。特别关注在实现数据劳动公正回报与人工智能数据集集体治理方面所面临的张力。借助科学、技术与社会(STS)理论中的修复正义视角,我们认为修复数据工作(及AI)的根本在于重置问责关系。在当前强调安全评估与红队测试以增强AI责任的背景下,我们呼吁直面核心问题:参与者如何与他们所构建的数据集和系统建立联系。修复视角要求我们打破现有数据工作的惯常规范,将焦点从AI或数据集转向那些因当前数据生产模式中忽视、疏忽与排斥而受害最深的人群。这为我们提供了一个大胆的责任愿景,并推动构建数据与AI实践的替代未来。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present an ethnographic study of an alternative approach to data work, developed by a civic-tech initiative that builds datasets for training and benchmarking online safety systems. They aim to respond to online safety concerns from a feminist perspective, by building safety datasets collaboratively with those most impacted by online harms. In this paper, we examine how this approach aims to reorient data work as a site for repair and redress, and trace the struggles they encounter in the process. Specifically, we draw attention to the challenges and tensions involved in advancing just reward for data work and collective governance of AI datasets. Examining these challenges through an STS-informed lens of reparative justice and repair, we argue that the work of repairing data work (and AI) lies, fundamentally, in resetting the ties of accountability. At a time heightened emphasis on efforts like safety evaluations and red teaming to make AI more responsible, we highlight the need to confront foundational questions about how the humans involved in these efforts relate to the datasets and systems they help produce. A reparative lens demands that we interrupt prevailing norms of data work and place at their centre, not AI or datasets, but those most harmed by the neglect, oversight and exclusion animated in the current modes of dataset production. This, we argue, offers a bold vision for responsibility and contributes towards a critical agenda for building alternative futures of data and AI practice.
