And it does so not only where AI has set out on a path of success – be it in North America, Europe, and China, or, to some degree, globally – and where self-learning algorithms are being deployed to organize digitized systems as varied as social media and policing. AI-capitalism is also in the process of establishing its regime of hidden labor where AI is <i class="">only projected</i> to play an important role in the future. This happens when the mere appearance or fantasy of <i class="">autonomous automation</i> is successfully promoted, for instance, by <i class="">naturalizing infrastructure</i>: as long as its appeal of frictionless functioning can be upheld, infrastructure can remain practically invisible, while – in the course of this – the (waged <i class="">and</i> unwaged) labor that it requires becomes almost imperceptible. SILENT WORKS unlocks and politicizes the hidden labor so essential to AI-capitalism – in video talks, artworks, projects, audio documents, dossiers, and more. The results of a year-long inquiry by researchers, artists, and activists from more than 25 countries are now available online at <a href="https://silentworks.info" class="">https://silentworks.info</a>"</body></html>
