An Australian academic and researcher whose 2021 book "Atlas of AI" traces the material, labour, and environmental costs behind AI systems, from mineral extraction to data annotation work, arguing that AI should be understood as an extractive industry rather than a purely abstract technology. Her work is a key reference point for critical, sociotechnical perspectives on AI's real-world power structures. (See also: Data annotation, Surveillance capitalism)
