Ground-truth is law: The invisible conceptual work behind AI by Camille Girard-Chanudet

“…Through ethnographic research at two artificial intelligence (AI) production sites within the French justice system, the study shows that conceptual labor remains at the heart of machine learning, shifting from algorithm coding to the curation of training data. Revisiting Lawrence Lessig's claim “code is law,” the article argues that in AI, the influence of formal code has waned, but a new form of structured conceptual framing has emerged in the form of ground-truth datasets—where “ground-truth is law.” …”
