75% of the world's population lives in the Global South. Yet, they're locked into the lowest tiers of the AI economy: data labeling, ghost work, and passive consumption. We sit down with Sudhir Tiku, author of "AI in the Global South: Power, Progress, and Policy," to unpack what it actually takes for developing nations to stop being spectators and start shaping their own technological futures. From data colonisation and frugal innovation to ghost workers and the Right to Imagine — this episode asks who AI is really being built for, and what needs to change.
