As AI models get more complex, so do the tasks carried out by humans to train them. It’s given $14 billion Scale AI a new focus on U.S.-based labor.

Scale AI is facing its third lawsuit over alleged labor practices in just over a month, this time from workers claiming they suffered psychological trauma from reviewing disturbing content without adequate safeguards.

A San Francisco-based artificial-intelligence startup misclassified workers as contractors and failed to pay them the money they were owed or give them paid breaks, according to a new class-action lawsuit.

Scale AI, a buzzy San Francisco startup with high-dollar ties across the tech industry, was sued Tuesday by a former worker with allegations that the company is committing wage theft and misclassifying workers.

CEO Alexandr Wang is named in the suit, which cites emotional distress for contractors who worked on a self-harm-prevention project for Meta.

The Clarkson Law Firm, which has gone after some of the biggest players in AI, filed suit against San Francisco’s ScaleAI, alleging the startup systematically denied its workers fair wages and benefits and intentionally misclassified them as contractors instead of full employees, violating one of California marquee labor laws, AB5.
