"I Got Paid $22 for Weeks of AI Work" - The Hidden Cost of Training Your AI | Julianne Hickey

<p>Sometimes the most important conversations about AI aren't happening in boardrooms or on conference stages. They're happening in data labelling sweatshops, in schools, and in the quiet moments when we ask ourselves: what are we actually building<br />____________<br />Connect with Georgie:</p><p>🔵 LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/</a></p><p>🟪 Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard" target="_blank">http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard</a></p><p>♦️ Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.georgiehubbard.com" target="_blank">https://www.georgiehubbard.com</a></p><p>📚 The Bold Move: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theboldmovebook.com" target="_blank">https://www.theboldmovebook.com</a></p><p>____________</p><p>Connect with Lou Compagnone:</p><p>🔵 LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/</a><br />____________<br />Connect with Julianne Hickey:</p><p>🔵 LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliannehickey/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliannehickey/</a></p><p>____________</p><p></p><p>Pope Leo XIV just released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, and it's about AI. Not the hype. Not the productivity gains. Not the trillion dollar valuations. It's about protecting human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. And it's a 42,000 word love letter to the world that centres women's voices, women's labour, and women's leadership.</p><p></p><p>In our first conversation with Julianne, we discussed this encyclical before it was released. Now it's here, Lou has read all 42,000 words of it, and the more he reads, the more women he finds inside it.</p><p></p><p>In this episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie and Lou sit down again with Julianne Hickey, social justice leader, AI governance expert, and one of the spokespeople for the encyclical in New Zealand. Julianne has met Pope Francis twice, worked in Gaza and Palestine, and now leads AI strategy for a major government organisation. And she's also done something most of us haven't: she signed up to work for a data labelling company to see what the AI supply chain actually looks like from the inside.</p><p></p><
