seriously. looks nice to people. what the years do they have their future. g.w. dot com africa's biggest city the melting feelings could turn. a job off in an hour i bet a hari algorithms organize my work days and write my performance what does that mean for me it's a control when apps tell you how to do your job i want topic today on shimmed. brave new digital workspace normal fixed aloes working from the comfort of home and

everything you need at your fingertips through your smartphone visualization has already greatly shaped the. workforce especially in the service industry nearly half of the employees worldwide work in this sector in germany they make up 3 quarters what is it like to receive assignments from i phone we asked a by career. exercising outdoors receiving job requests by phone meeting friends and getting paid for it all but the life of a by korea may not be quite as great as companies would like you to think only contract employees have a guaranteed income freelance careers get their assignments through enough insurers and algorithm decides how much they will. let algorithms only consider performance criteria such as speed position and reliability they don't care about the human being behind the data self-employed koori is working under these conditions of the

so called economy they fight for any short commission. university lecturer a team specializes in the working conditions of the digital age. people who work these gigs don't necessarily decide when and where they do it on. the platform instead the platform assigns them certain jobs doesn't. come to quite often find themselves at the mercy of the up of. as if they were waiting for bread crumbs that the site's algorithm tosses out before the. constantly waiting for the next job is nerve wracking and emotionally exhausting in germany unions and politicians are raising. new developments in digital technology we're seeing new forms of exploitation and precarity by couriers for example they've gone without any real social safety net for a long time. doesn't sound easy but i don't want to be by korea so

that's not my problem right actually that's a bit shortsighted so-called vision. capitalism has broad radical changes to our working lives and is affecting more and more people according to. and he should know he's been working in the sector for 20 years and has written 2 books on the subject. digital capitalism is a historical phase of capitalism in which algorithms and data take on the role that machines and resources used to play. in this digital capitalism the data corporations that specialize in data extraction dominate the market. these businesses cloak themselves as platforms. in the future experts predict that fewer workers will receive contract position google's already proving them right not even half of their employees are under

contract and a good economy many work in precarious says in theory whenever and wherever they want but even if they're independent on paper they may still be closely monitored one example amazon's warehouse work is known as their workday is determined by digital. warehouse workers in particular are monitored very very closely. the device they carry around with them watches every step they make and gives them a clear instructions on where to go in the literal sense of the term which optimal paths to walk. it's reminiscent of the assembly line days. people were reduced to performing single simple ideal movements of. digital technology to optimize as workflows must be every employee has dream but

they could also use these programs to identify optimal employees and these forms of digital control limited to koori years and warehouse workers. algorithmic management systems as they're called showing up in other sectors as well software that tells me when it's time for a break to give my back a rest sounds great and if it helps if that not hierarchy is all the better on the other hand it would also log my rockcliffe all mines in detail and how does that affect me mr dahl. often the physical boss disappears and is replaced by digital technologies that are invisible to keep far closer watch. these move magical theory to these myths medical c m and these mathematical theorems about a group of. imagine i had a computer counting how much expensive studio time my power bills cost now that's total digital control what algorithms con council evah a social skills to measure those you simply need to your employees rating systems

in which work is evaluated one another becoming more common place they were inspired by the customer rating systems we used to from most major internet that phones. i produce a brought me a cup of coffee today. would i again. on the line fashion retail is the land developed design no rating system based on co worker feedback in order to digitally track the worst performance of the company's 5000 some employees union friendly foundation examines this system this study shows that the sensation of total surveillance that creates damage to working environments and yes more and more companies are favoring digital monitoring and with his with flexible availability under these circumstances workers can hardly defend their interests. with revealing with the kind of digital early capitalism it's as if new digital factories were popping up there's no regulation that's the kind of so we need

a process involving labor struggles and they're already happening. for example google employees are trying to organize in unions they say the company has been blocking them and some even reports having been sacked. but the company denies this is the reason i actually recognize many developments in this digital platform economy that we know from the history of the workers' movement as of course the uber drivers today are organized very differently in facebook groups face and they call wildcat strikes out there a kind of post-modern union movement and i think that's a positive development or i definitely welcome it. so there's still hope but many of these checks and balances are already part of labor law at least in germany the large into that corporations are not too happy about them before tech giants. facebook and amazon or operate

worldwide and set themselves above national regulation in most countries they can avoid taxes and use the monopoly is to their advantage national data. protection laws just a nuisance to them and they don't like taking responsibility for what happens on this site they have a watertight defense is they've insisted that just intermediaries all that this neutral market places of course that's not really the case says. special about these platforms is that the ones who set them up are the rulers they're the hash they decide the rules and they're also the ones active in these markets they themselves created software. so. for example amazon has provider on the marketplace that it has created worldwide. so it's not just the referee it is the same time it's also a player. there are 2 main reasons why the gaffa big 4 dominate the

markets one is the network effect that is as services usefulness increases disproportionately with the number of participants the more the merrier then there's the feedback effect the bigger the side the more data it can collect to optimize that system and that makes the site even more attractive to uses google and co hugely successful in securing their monopoly according to major silicon valley investor pizza deal competition is full loses. there's just no way around digital capitalists is there. in india small businesses are fighting back against amazon india's powerful shopkeepers union has been trying to block amazon's entry into their 1000000000 euro markets with protests as well as legal and political action the battles yet to be decided. meanwhile china's the tech giant out with its enormous file will. have been

pursuing quite a radical protectionism and i have to say very successfully. in the world's largest domestic market the chinese counterparts to silicon valley's digital corporations have been a huge success and have gathered an immense number of users. so they get this algorithmic feedback effect in a very pronounced way. the chinese model is pushing digital capitalism very hard in its vast market. the overwhelming power of big multinational tech firms hold also challenges nation states western politicians are still looking to the right approach and the e.u. has imposed steep antitrust penalties american politicians like elizabeth warren or bernie sanders are even calling for the internet tech giants to be broken up. that's a lofty promise and by the way 7 of the 10 most highly valued corporations worldwide

tech firms apple microsoft alphabet amazon facebook the chinese e-commerce group alibaba and tencent which owns. the market dominance seems unshakeable except for apple and microsoft all these companies have been around for less than 25 years in just a short time they've become the biggest players in the world market and their main resources i intend to build they include user data and algorithms. but it would really change anything if we broke up last corporations well then wouldn't you play is just take over the market and we'd be back where we stop it is a platform isn't from law or merely these platforms or markets but since they're part of our digital infrastructure the classical market mechanisms no longer apply . these platforms should be treated as a public service and be a freely available infrastructure fossil to one because the india should facebook

and google be nationalized and should digital infrastructure be freely available just like roads and rails without private corporations raking in a drain just profits would digital capitalism have to make way for digital communism. i'd say we are moving into a stormy transition radical social change has always had profound consequences for individuals the same went for the industrial revolution in time workers managed to fight for some of their rights with the digital revolution similar what do you think will be soon and up as i'm the paid click workers or will the digital revolution have positive effects on most of our lives let us know what you think on you tube facebook on the w. dot com and see you know them fill them up but.
