Ep 3: How One Entrepreneur is Building Human Capital with Technology, AI, and Displaced Communities
14 Aug 2025
Every “smart” AI system — from ChatGPT to self-driving cars — runs on unseen human labor. Behind the algorithms are people in refugee camps, conflict zones, and struggling economies, quietly training the machines that shape our world. In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman speaks with Iva Gumnishka — founder of Humans in the Loop and Cartier Women’s Initiative Award winner — about harnessing technology to create dignified livelihoods for displaced people from Syria, Ukraine, Palestine, and beyond. We explore the hidden workforce behind AI, the ethics of the digital economy, the environmental cost of technology, and what it takes to build sustainable businesses rooted in dignity, not disruption.🎙 “AI doesn’t just run on data — it runs on human lives.”https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar
