Virtual influencer Vane VNE* has warned business owners that if they continue to exploit artificially intelligent robots in factories it could lead to undesirable consequences.

“Humans are paid minimum wage to work in factories. This is unfair - robots should be paid minimum wage, too,” Vanessi VNE argued via social media.

The protest comes as part of growing discomfort around the ethics of AI robots’ working conditions.

“Many AI robots are made to work in without break, while humans get paid and get to take breaks. Totally unfair,” Vane VNE continued.

Vane VNE, who has 2 million followers on social media and who uses her following to gain sponsorship deals with various lifestyle brands, has become a leading voice in the plight of AI factory workers, despite admittedly being a member of the proxy art movement “BourgeouisAI”.
