AI depends on human labour, but the people behind that work are increasingly vulnerable.

In Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp, refugees take on digital tasks that help power the tech industry, often without clear or guaranteed earnings. Meanwhile, the International Trade Centre reports that jobs such as translation, data entry, and transcription have declined by around 50% since 2022.

As AI reshapes digital work, who bears the cost of cheaper technology?

The leaders of OpenAI and Anthropic have called for stronger global oversight of AI, arguing that decisions with worldwide consequences should not rest with a handful of companies. France and the UK support shared rules, while the United States opposes placing AI under a global governing body. As the US and China compete to advance AI, the debate over safety, accountability, and who sets the rules continues.

🤖 The AI race isn’t just about building bigger models. It’s about building and running them more efficiently.

Atul Rai, Co-founder & CEO of Star Technologies, shares his perspective on one of the biggest challenges in AI today: the economics of computational power. ⚙️
As AI moves from experimentation to large-scale deployment, computational costs, efficiency and optimization are becoming increasingly important to the business equation. 📈

The next phase of AI may come down to a simple question:
How efficiently can we build and run intelligence?
🎯 What matters more in the AI race: bigger models or better optimization?

🤖 Can AI really be unbiased when the decisions around it are made by humans?

In this CAIO Connect Podcast one-on-one conversation, @jibuelias , Country Lead, India at Mozilla, breaks down a fascinating question about AI, human judgment and decision-making.
From government governance decisions to workplace decisions such as hiring and firing, Jibu explains how the context and language behind a decision can influence how we understand it. When AI enters that process, the assumption that it will automatically be unbiased becomes much more complicated.

Because AI may process the decision, but humans still define the systems, data and context behind it. ⚖️🤖

🎯 Can AI ever truly be unbiased, or does human context always influence the outcome?
Share your perspective in the comments.

AI needs enormous amounts of electricity—and that demand is beginning to shape decisions far beyond the tech industry.

Google’s reported interest in securing long-term nuclear power in Finland raises a bigger question: who decides how limited energy resources are allocated when AI companies become major consumers?

As data centers compete for power, governments face a new challenge: balancing AI infrastructure growth with the needs of households, businesses, and the wider energy system.

AI is moving fast—but organisations still face a fundamental challenge: how do you know whether AI is actually improving work or simply producing more output?

In this CAIO Connect Podcast conversation, @spuri is joined by Andrew McAfee, Principal Research Scientist, to explore the growing gap between AI-generated output and genuine productivity. The conversation looks at why leaders often lack visibility into how employees are actually using AI—and why that makes it harder to distinguish meaningful work from “work slop.”

Drawing an analogy to the earliest years of aviation, McAfee explains why AI may be at a similar inflection point: the technology is advancing rapidly, but organisations still need to learn how to use these new capabilities effectively and recognise when the world has fundamentally changed.

Agentic AI and enterprise AI adoption are creating a new question for leaders: how do you actually measure the value AI is delivering?

In this CAIO Connect Podcast conversation, Sanjay Puri is joined by James Milin, Co-Founder & CEO of Workhelix, to explore why traditional financial statements may not fully capture the impact of AI. From productivity gains and task-level transformation to the way AI changes the economics of work, the conversation looks at what organizations should really be measuring.

As enterprises move beyond AI experimentation and begin deploying it across functions, understanding where value is being created—and whether that value is actually showing up in the numbers—becomes increasingly important.

AI is often the most visible part of a transformation—but visibility does not always mean it is the real driver.

In this CAIO Connect Podcast conversation, @spuri is joined by Erik Brynjolfsson @erikbryn , American author, academic and inventor, to explore why organisations can be quick to credit AI for outcomes it did not necessarily create. From boardroom narratives around AI to the difficulty of separating technology from broader organisational transformation, the conversation looks at what is really driving business outcomes.

As Erik points out, technology can amplify what an organisation is already doing. The bigger question is whether leaders are measuring the transformation itself—or simply giving AI the credit.
