Inclusionism Core
Data-as-Labor
Data-as-Labor
Definition
The recognition that human-generated data contributes economic value and should participate in systems of ownership and compensation.
Inclusionist Perspective
Data production is a form of participation within networked economies.
Data-as-Labor is useful but incomplete.
Data is not only labor.
It may also be Personal Data, identity extension, relational evidence, and the basis for Relational Attribution.
The Inclusionist question is not only whether data should be compensated, but whether data contributors retain Agency and Ownership in the systems their data helps build.

Questions

- Can data labor become compensable?
- Should AI-generated value be socially distributed?
