10 AI Safety, Ghost Workers, and Staying in Control

Episode 10 pulls back the curtain on the often-invisible aspects of artificial intelligence. We explore the critical topic of AI safety, not from a science-fiction perspective, but with practical steps every user can take to protect their data and privacy. We then move into a crucial and underreported topic: the "ghost workers" who power the AI systems we use daily. This global workforce is responsible for labeling data and moderating content, often for low pay and in stressful conditions, raising significant ethical questions about the true cost of "autonomous" technology. Finally, we pivot to empowering you, the user. We discuss tangible strategies and tools that help you stay in control, understand how AI makes decisions, and ensure these powerful systems remain helpful assistants rather than opaque black boxes. This episode is about building a more complete, responsible, and human-centered understanding of AI
