    Mophat Okinyi, former moderator of ChatGPT, has filed a petition to investigate the operating conditions of contractors who view content.

    • Oquini and other moderators claim that their psychological trauma, low salary and dismissal were caused by the contract with Sama.

    • Sama, a data annotation service company, disagrees with the allegations and claims to have paid compensation.

    • Former moderators call for new legislation and protection of Kenyan youth from outsourcing companies.

    • OpenAI is also responsible for the working conditions of content moderators, according to a statement from non-profit organization Foxglove.

    • Africa’s first union for content moderators was formed in May, but it remains unclear who OpenAI outsources work to.
