see note about DigitalSlavery. When asking ChatAI about Ending digital Slavery, it provided the following feedback;

There are a few different economic models that might be better suited to addressing the issue of unpaid or underpaid work, especially when it comes to knowledge workers. One approach could be to adopt a model that places a greater emphasis on workers' rights and the fair distribution of wealth. This could involve implementing policies that aim to reduce income inequality and provide a safety net for workers who are not being fairly compensated for their labor. Additionally, there could be a focus on providing training and education opportunities to help workers develop the skills they need to negotiate for better pay and working conditions. This could be coupled with stronger labor protections and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that workers are not exploited.

There are a number of behaviors that should be avoided in order to end digital slavery, including:

1. Exploitative working conditions: Employers should ensure that workers are not subjected to excessive or unreasonable workloads, and that they are provided with fair pay and benefits.
2. Forced labor: Employers should not use threats, intimidation, or coercion to force workers to perform labor against their will.
3. Lack of worker protections: Employers should provide workers with adequate protections, including safety equipment and training, to prevent accidents or injuries on the job.
4. Discrimination: Employers should not discriminate against workers on the basis of their race, religion, gender, nationality, or any other protected characteristic.
5. Harassment: Employers should have policies in place to prevent and address harassment, including sexual harassment, in the workplace.
6. Lack of transparency: Employers should be transparent about their labor practices and should allow workers to freely communicate their concerns and report any issues without fear of retribution.

The principles for ending digital slavery can also be applied to open-source projects done online cooperatively with others. For example, it is important to ensure that contributors to an open-source project are not subjected to exploitation or forced labor. This means that they should not be asked to work excessive hours or be paid unfairly for their contributions.

It is also important to ensure that contributors to an open-source project are treated fairly and with respect, and that there is no discrimination or harassment. This may involve having clear policies in place to address these issues and providing a safe and inclusive environment for all contributors.

Transparency is also important in open-source projects. Contributors should be aware of the terms and conditions under which they are working, and should be able to freely communicate their concerns and report any issues without fear of retribution.

Overall, it is important to recognize that the contributions of open-source volunteers are valuable and should be treated with respect and fairness. By following these principles, open-source projects can be more inclusive and sustainable in the long term.

Notes and Considerations

it is very difficult to simplify the notion of DigitalSlavery as is similarly the case in seeking to provide a simple summary of how it is these works act as a broad-ranging ecosystem with the express intent, of seeking to form apparatus that provides support for enabling lawful remedy in relation to these sorts of crimes and human rights abuses. As such, when considering the points made about ending digital slavery, note that, the broader ecosystem if effectively implemented; has an effect, that is greater than any single part alone. The success of the project is effectively defined by whether and/or how it supports #RealityCheckTech, without unreasonably compromising other broader values. The webizen ecosystem produces an environment where technology, and by extension - Artificial intelligence, is curated as a set of tools for human kind to employ, as to be supported by those tools, and in-particular thereafter; be better equipped to be empowered to successfully engage in activities such as the broader PeaceInfrastructureProject - which is far less about ICT and far more about our biosphere and in-turn sociosphere; whereby, we need the tools to achieve more than is otherwise simply illustrated by the SDGs.
