How Big Tech Is Using AI to Police Its Own Supply Chains

Apple, Microsoft, and Google are quietly deploying AI agents to audit factories, mines, and logistics hubs in real time. Lucas and Luna dig into a specific case: Apple's pilot program using computer vision to detect child labor and unsafe conditions in cobalt supply chains in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They discuss how the technology works, the limits of automated auditing, and why this matters for investors watching ESG compliance. With Microsoft stock at $379.40 and Google at $368.03, the hosts connect the dots between regulatory pressure, reputational risk, and the bottom line. Plus, a natural conversation about listener support keeps the show ad-free. #Apple #Microsoft #Google #SupplyChain #AI #ESG #Cobalt #ChildLabor #ComputerVision #Auditing #BigTech #Technology #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #AIethics #Sustainability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
