Labelers training AI say they're overworked, underpaid and exploited by big American tech companies Digital workers in Kenya had to sift through horrific online content to train AI, but say they were underpaid, overworked, and got inadequate mental health support. So they're fighting back.

Hey marketing friends - am doing a lecture on social media trends for 2025 for my third year students next week. So it's not just my views - what do you think are the key trends to watch for? (which aren't AI)....

Looking forward speaking at this online event on Wednesday, talking about different methods and tools for synthesising big data into clear narratives. Link to sign up below!

Definitely using it more… but admittedly because of the boost in Google’s organic search results

Digital colonialism is real and rife!

Australia bans social media for under 16s. Opponents’ position that there’s a risk of being cut off from the internet is the weakest argument yet

Looking forward to reading this, which looks at the platformisation of colonial practices such as extraction and control in multiple global contexts

This entire thread goes to show how easily businesses can and will manipulate employees with the capabilities of this tech

The removal of affirmative action is now seeing institutional discourse being replaced with more fluid terms such as ‘opportunity’ and ‘access’, and is also snowballing into wider public and commercial firms

It’s scary how much it’s getting fast tracked into public sector services!

Its Head of Brand, Santino Pietrosanti, has a clear stance on DEI and making bold shifts. Looking at Jaguar’s financial and stock market performance, they had to make drastic changes. A car brand creating an ad campaign with no cars?

Is Jaguar’s rebrand a publicity stunt? Definitely not, but it’s clear there’s more to come. Lots of criticism about it’s ultra modern and supposedly woke campaign being the death of the iconic brand
