Anatomy of an AI System
The Amazon Echo as an anatomical map of human labour, data and planetary resources
Anatomy of an AI System is an infographic and research project by Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler. Crawford and Joler's project looks at the amount of human labour, data and resources that are required during the lifespan of just one device from manufacture to disposal, using the popular Amazon Echo device as an example.
A diagram demonstrates the impact of the device on a global scale, from extracting metals from the earth necessary to build it and the resulting environmental effects, to the personal data about the user that the device gathers. This is supplemented by an essay explaining the connections and real-world effects of the device.
The project also highlights the huge wage disparities between executives working in the industry and the children employed to extract minerals, who would have to work 700,000 years to earn the same amount.
