    The Sweatshop Workers Who Power A.I.

    Siri has a body. AI’s most familiar voice is not just a disembodied all-knowing benefactor of trivia, recipes, and everything else you can’t recall (or never knew) at any particular moment. According to Professor James Muldoon, author of Feeding the Machine: The Hidden Human Labour Powering AI, “... AI has a material body and exists only through new chips, servers and cables being manufactured and added to the machine. And just like a physical body, AI's material structure needs constant nourishment through electricity to power its operations and water to cool its servers every time we ask ChatGPT a question or use an internet search engine. The machine lives and breathes through this digital infrastructure.” The physical body that makes up AI is not just sucking up water and power. AI is also built on the backs of real people. Not just the air-conditioned Silicon Valley engineers you might be imagining.  AI relies on the work of hundreds of thousands of low-paid workers spread across the global south.

    The Long Goodbye: Trudeau’s Not Gone Yet

    Yesterday Trudeau announced that he would prorogue parliament and resign as Prime Minister. Now, the Liberal Party is embarking on a journey to replace him.

    Waste Management: Sh*t is Complicated

    We don't like to think about sewage. And when it's all working fine, we don't have to. But if we don't get comfortable talking about shit, we could soon be headed for serious trouble if our infrastructure collapses. And given that recent reports say 30 percent of Canadian water and wastewater infrastructure has either reached or passed the end of its lifespan, that failure feels more like a when than an if.  Reporter Leora Shertzer digs into he problems of one small Ontario town where they’ve spent decades trying to sort their shit out. But solving it will mean untangling a mess of political, environmental, engineering, and frankly, personal interests. Because shit is complicated.

    Democracy Under Threat: Anne Applebaum and Timothy Snyder

    We’re bringing you a special episode of a show we love! From The Paul Wells Show, two acclaimed historians talk about the state of democracy and freedom in the world today. In her latest book, Autocracy Inc., Anne Applebaum writes about a group of dictators who share a bond that’s not based on ideology, but on their ability to help each other gain wealth, power and impunity.  Yale historian Timothy Synder, author of the new book On Freedom, argues that freedom is more than the absence of oppression. He shares his vision for freedom in the wake of a recent trip to Ukraine.  The Paul Wells Show is produced by Antica Productions. Host: Paul Wells Credits: Kevin Sexton (Producer), Stuart Cox (Executive Producer), Laura Regehr  (ANTICA Head of Audio) Guest: Anne Applebaum, Timothy Synder     If you value this podcast, Support us!
