Sonam is a Program Lead for AI, Labor and the Economy. She is leading PAI’s Data Supply Lines workstream. As AI is increasingly being used in a number of critical contexts, Sonam is interested in creating greater transparency over how AI is being developed and its relationship with complex, sociotechnical systems. She is particularly interested in deepening our understanding of how data supply chains fueling AI are impacting the global economy, labor relations, inequality, and knowledge stratification.
