James Muldoon: The hidden human labour powering AI (Institute for Policy Research)

While Big Tech promotes AI as a frictionless technology that will bring wealth and prosperity, James Muldoon exposes a different reality hidden beneath this surface: a precarious global workforce of millions that make AI possible. He examines the power structures that govern digital work and explains what we need to do to build a more just digital future. He is in conversation with Aida Garcia-Lazaro. This Institute for Policy Research event took place on 12 March 2026.
