AI is not just code. It is human labor.

AI activists Ephantus Kanyugi and Joan Kinyua were once part of the invisible global workforce training artificial intelligence – the people who teach machines how to see, read, classify, and judge.

What it truly means to build AI from the ground up. Depression, anxiety, and broken families become the hidden cost of systems the world celebrates as innovation. If AI is the future, who is paying the human price?
