Karya Mini-Documentary

India has 230M poor people, more than any other country in the world. With the rise of mobile phones in rural India, digital work has the potential to move more Indians out of poverty sustainably. But the digital work landscape is exploitative. Karya reimagines digital work. It empowers rural Indians to train AI models through data annotation tasks. Karya is worker-first: its datasets are worker-owned, it pays workers 20x the Indian minimum wage, and tasks don’t require connectivity.
