[Podcast] DiPLab’s Paola Tubaro and Thomas Le Bonniec on RTS (Swiss Radio Television)

DiPLab’s Paola Tubaro and Thomas Le Bonniec have been interviewed on Tout un monde, the podcast of Swiss public broadcaster RTS (Radio Télévision Suisse), to discuss the people behind artificial intelligence and the challenges posed by increasingly widespread digital surveillance.

Paola Tubaro, co-director of DiPLab, provides a general overview of data workers and their crucial contribution to the development and functioning of artificial intelligence systems. Drawing on several years of research, she explains how AI relies on human labour involved in collecting, processing, annotating and moderating data.

Thomas Le Bonniec, PhD candidate at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, discusses DiPLab’s latest report, Surveillance at Scale, which examines the widespread use of surveillance technologies and the challenges they pose to fundamental rights and individual privacy. He also explains the significance of the five complaints filed in several European countries by DiPLab, noyb.eu and other partner NGOs.
