Then, we examine the workers in the global value chains of AI production between France and Madagascar, and lastly, we expand this by looking at the unsustainable reproductive labour it requires on families and communities. We will end with a lively discussion of possible solutions with the audience and members of the wider AI and labour communities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-size: 22px\"><strong>Held online on Thursday, 24<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0November 2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-size: 19px;line-height: 1.5\"><strong>9:30\u00a0&#8211;\u00a011:00 AM (Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong><br><strong>3:30\u00a0&#8211;\u00a05:00 PM (Berlin)<\/strong><br><strong>4:30\u00a0&#8211;\u00a06:00 PM (Cape Town<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-family: Spartan;font-weight: 900;font-size: 28px;color: #ba3d53\">PROGRAM<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-size: 19px\"><em>Convenor and Discussant:\u00a0<\/em><br><br><strong>Kai-Hsin Hung<\/strong><br>PhD Candidate, HEC Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-size: 19px\"><em>Studying Up Machine Learning Data: Why Talk About Bias When We Mean Power?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-size: 19px;line-height: 1.5\">Dr. <strong>Milagros Miceli<\/strong><br>Research Group Lead at the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, Associate Researcher, Distributed AI Research Institute,\u00a0Berlin, Germany<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-size: 19px\"><em>Driving the Digital Value Network: Economic Geographies of Global Platform Capitalism<\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-size: 19px;line-height: 1.4\">Dr. <strong>Kelle Howson<\/strong><br>Researcher at Research ICT Africa &amp; Institute for Economic Justice \u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-size: 19px;line-height: 1.4\"><em>How are AI Companies Shaping Labour Along Their Value Chain?
