演算法為人類的需求服務，但它的運作卻建立在將人類視為免洗人力的剝削。 覺得Google、臉書變得越來越聰明，不僅馬上就能找到正確資訊、掌握即時動態，還會判別釣魚網站、過濾不舒服的內容？事實是，演算法裡頭藏了真人：要有人教導機器學習，它才能變得「聰明」。正如亞瑪遜的貝佐斯所言，人工智慧，其實是「人工的人工智慧」。 人工智慧帶來人機混合的新工作模式。由自駕車、無人商店、語音客服開啟的趨勢，已經蔓延至翻譯、會計、金融、管理、醫療等更專業的領域。平台資本主義拆解原本的專職工作，將機器無法處理的部分，化成零散的微工作，拋給人力群包平台的接案者。巨型平台規避傳統勞資關係，減少專業人力成本。在平台接案的微工作者沒有權益保障，也沒有固定薪水，甚至連為哪家公司工作、工作的目的是什麼都不清楚，成為案主呼之即來、揮之即去的免洗人力。群包平台大灌「自由接案」的迷湯，但其實就是微工作者必須自行承擔所有風險。你不知道何時可以接到下一件案子，報酬會有多少，你成為工資的狩獵採集者，為的只是要一圓科技大亨移民火星的狂想。在全自動機器人與智慧助理的喧鬧之下，瓊斯清晰而仔細地揭露使得我們的數位社會得以成真的工作者究竟身在何方。對於這個通常看不到的低薪、超時工作且毫無保障的世界，本書為必讀導覽。——斯尼切克（Nick Srnicek），《平台資本主義》（Platform Capitalism）作者 讓瓊斯為你導覽數位化資本主義最醜惡的陰暗面。在此，科技巨頭監控工作者的一舉一動，把他們的鍵盤敲擊與滑鼠點選聲轉化為獲利，而在我們持續加班的同時，「工作」本身卻是分崩離析。為了在慘澹的未來降臨到每個人身上之前預先阻止它，瓊斯寫下了這篇優美的戰鬥宣言。——賈非（Sarah Jaffe），《工作不會回報你的愛：對工作的奉獻，如何剝削我們、耗盡我們的心神，並使我們孤獨》（Work Won’t Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone）作者 在這本節奏明快的精彩著作中，瓊斯探討了數位經濟工作者的隱身之地。在此，全世界的過剩勞工為了不到兩美元的時薪標注影像、管理網站內容與教導運算法辨識寵物。《為演算法服務的免洗人力》同時也探究一種新的可能性：一無所有的微工作者該如何
