We’re delighted to invite you to our first Ethics & Governance Working Group meeting of 2025 on February 6th at 10am ET/ 3pm BST - with a fantastic panel of speakers on the topic of AI and labour. Our speakers will include Mophat Okinyi, Chairperson of the Content Moderator’s Union and recently named one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in AI 2024, who will tell us more about his first-hand experiences of AI labour, and share his thoughts on how we can all support data workers through scrutinising the models we choose to use. Oguz Alyanak, postdoctoral researcher and affiliate of the FairWork team from the Oxford Internet Institute, who will share practical advice which can be of use when trying to assess the ‘least worst’ platforms, from a labour rights perspective. Maria Mukobi and Kriti Bajpai, data curators working with Girl Effect to make GenAI outputs safer for their audiences, and Soma Mitra-Behura, Data Scientist, at Girl Effect, who will share what they learned when carrying out fine-tuning tasks for a sexual health chatbot. We'll discuss: - What role do humans play in the development of AI models? - What can be the impact on the workers who power machine learning? - What can we do, as development and humanitarian professionals, to acknowledge and address the human impact of AI model development? We look forward to seeing you then!
