Each time I read an article about this I am convinced that any person contributing to this kind of learning algorithm should have the opportunity for equity in the outcome. (perhaps in addition to the wage for doing the task) If I'm a delivery driver roaming all about town with my camera on my dashboard which is tagging street signs and speed limits and other data, do I get a residual if that data is used to make billions of dollars? Do I even get paid .02/mile to collect it, or am I forced in order to have the gig in the first place? A morally straightforward way to make a more equitable future would be to acknowledge how important it was to collect and classify all of this data, and provide the humans that are doing that work with some part of the insane returns of scale that will (and already have been) achieved by these organizations. Sure, you contributed a really really small amount to the overall algorithm, but that really small amount generates billions / trillions of profit, so maybe it scales, and it will scale over time after training is done. I hope we see efforts to do this kind of thing.
