AI companies are only going to need more data labor, forcing them to keep seeking out increasingly unusual labor forces to keep pace. As Metroc [Finnish Construction Company] plots its expansion across the Nordics and into languages other than Finnish, Virnala [CEO] is considering whether to expand the prison labor project to other countries. "It's something we need to explore," he says.

Data labor - or "Clickworkers" are part of the AI supply chain, in this case labelling data to help an LLM differentiate "between a hospital project that has already commissioned an architect or a window fitter, for example, and projects that might still be hiring."

Supply chain security (and integrity) is already challenging. How far do we need to peer up-chain to establish the integrity of LLMs.
