Kate Kallot, AI founder: A global digital divide?

“Historically, as a region, we’ve been extracted at two levels. If you look at the AI value chain, a lot of our youth, some who have studied computer science, are left at data labelling roles at the bottom of the value chain, where the least value is created. In a different way, a lot of our data is being extracted for free to train those systems. We want to make sure we don’t go into similar models that we had during colonisation.” Leanna Byrne speaks to Kate Kallot, founder of the Kenyan artificial intelligence company Amini, which is building AI infrastructure across Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. She warns that billions of people risk being left out of the artificial intelligence systems shaping modern life, with languages, cultures and knowledge from large parts of the world underrepresented in the technology being built today. Kate argues that AI risks repeating old patterns of global inequality, with poorer countries supplying valuable data while richer nations reap the rewards. She explains why the Global South should help shape the future of AI, rather than simply supply the data behind it.

Ep 233 — Slush Fund Melts

DOCKET ALERTS: Doofus of the Day: Alexis Wilkins, girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel. She's filed a bumptious defamation suit against MSNOW for reporting that she asked her security detail to drive her drunk pals home. Like her boyfriend, Wilkins is represented by MAGA lawyer Jesse Binnall. Maybe they got a sweetheart package deal? The New York Times reports that the Trump administration has lost 10,000 lawyers, 2,500 at the Justice Department alone. No one wants to put the DOJ on their resume, or sign up to work environmental cases and then find themselves seconded to handle immigration. This has been a boon for state law enforcement agencies, which have their pick of newbie prosecutors. And the government filed a superseding indictment of former NBA point guard Terry Rozier, who is accused of fixing games for online bets. MAIN SHOW: Trump's slush fund is dead … maybe. Was it the judge in Florida potentially reopening his fake lawsuit against the IRS to explore the possibility of Rule 11 sanctions against the lawyers? Was it the judge in Virginia imposing a temporary restraining order on dispensing money? Or was it the refusal of congressional Republicans to eat the sh*t sandwich on command? Both Kalshi and the Trump administration have sued Minnesota seeking to invalidate its new ban on prediction markets in the state. Is Kalshi a gambling site or some kind of securities exchange? And Judge Chris Cooper ruled that Trump cannot just slap his name on the Kennedy Center and shut it down on command. Fiduciary duty applies, even if you're a MAGA board member. Naturally, the president is taking the ruling in stride. Wilkins v.

Antonin Scalia [PATREON-ONLY]

In this first-ever Patreon-only episode of 5-4, Peter (@The_Law_Boy), Rhiannon (@AywaRhiannon), and Michael (@_FleerUltra) discuss the life and legacy of former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia portrayed himself as methodical and apolitical, obsessed with carefully applying the Constitution, as it was written and understood by the founders. But in practice, Scalia was a favorite son of the hyper-conservative Federalist Society, and he enthusiastically pursued their political agenda from the bench. Hosted on Acast.
