Krystal is a data worker and research fellow with DAIR, focused on the human labor that underpins AI systems and the ethical questions that surround them. Her work examines the often-invisible individuals who power the AI supply chain - data annotators, content moderators, and other platform-based workers - and the broader systems that shape their working conditions.

Before entering the research space, Krystal spent a decade working on political and issue campaigns as a community organizer, driven by a commitment to equity and systemic change. Her training in geology helps her approach the AI ecosystem as a layered, interconnected system, one where human labor is often buried or overlooked.
