一位南非博士在完成AI与农业研究工作后，收到了来自AI平台的职位邀请，被要求训练AI系统来执行教学和论文评分等工作。1尽管南非面临47.4%的青年失业率和严峻的经济压力，这位博士还是决定接受面试，但最终拒绝了这份薪资为每小时600南非兰特（约37美元）的工作。1
博士的拒绝源于多重顾虑。1首先是伦理困境——将专业判断力转交给机器系统执行。1其次是在招聘过程本身中看到的隐忧：在45分钟的面试后，反馈意见由AI系统而非人类面试官发送，这表明AI在人力决策中已经取代了人类角色。1
A doctoral researcher from South Africa declined a position training artificial intelligence systems to perform teaching and paper grading tasks, citing ethical reservations about automating professional judgment and concerns over AI replacing human decision-making in recruitment.1
The researcher, facing economic pressures typical in a country with a youth unemployment rate of 47.4 percent, initially agreed to interview for the role offered by an AI platform.1 The position offered compensation of 600 South African rand per hour, approximately 37 U.S. dollars—well above South Africa's minimum wage of 30.23 rand per hour.1 However, the hiring process itself reinforced the applicant's misgivings: the interview, conducted by an AI system over 45 minutes, was followed by automated feedback rather than human evaluation.1
The refusal reflects broader tensions around AI adoption in the labor market. The researcher's objection centered on the conflict between economic necessity and the ethical implications of delegating expert evaluation to machines.1 This case emerged amid growing activity by AI recruitment platforms including Outlier, Mercor, and Surge that engage global workers in data collection and training tasks.1 The phenomenon extends beyond academic work—data collection efforts have expanded to include workers in countries like India, where waste segregation workers have been hired to conduct camera-equipped data collection at hourly rates of 250 Indian rupees, approximately 2.60 U.S. dollars.1
