Show Notes
S2E3: This episode pulls back the curtain on the often-invisible human workforce powering AI, from content moderation to data labelling, exploring why global standards in AI supply chains must be enforced to protect worker safety. Veena McCoole talks with researchers Ashly Jiju and Ayca Ergin from the Fairwork Project at the Oxford Internet Institute. With new EU regulations like the AI Act on the horizon, the researchers share Fairwork’s response to readying companies to face this scrutiny: a research-backed audit and certification process designed to help organizations ethically build their AI.
