#21 - The Invisible Labor Behind AI: A Content Moderator’s Fight for Justice
12 Feb 2025
In this episode of AI with Sach, we dive into the unseen and often traumatic labor behind artificial intelligence. I sat down with Kauna Malgwi, a former content moderator for Facebook and one of TIME’s TIME100 AI honorees for 2024. Kauna shares her powerful journey—from fleeing Boko Haram insurgency in Northern Nigeria to becoming a key voice advocating for the rights of content moderators across Africa. She exposes the psychological toll of filtering violent and abusive content, the exploitative practices of big tech, and the ongoing fight for fair treatment of African tech workers. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation about the cost of keeping social media "safe" and the people who power the AI revolution.
