Feeding the Machine: The Hidden Human Labor Powering AI is a nonfiction investigation of the labor, infrastructure, and power relations behind artificial intelligence. Written by Callum Cant, James Muldoon, and Mark Graham, the book argues that AI is often presented as seamless automation, when in fact it depends on a large and frequently invisible workforce. Drawing on fieldwork and interviews across multiple countries, it examines data annotation, content moderation, warehouse work, technical labor, and creative labor as essential parts of the AI supply chain. Rather than treating AI as a purely technical achievement, the book frames it as a social and economic system shaped by outsourcing, low pay, corporate concentration, and extractive business models. Its purpose is both explanatory and critical: it reveals how AI is built, who bears its costs, and why labor rights and governance matter to its future.
