As technology accelerates, Open MIC remains committed to providing top-quality information and analysis on AI and workers’ rights, privacy and data minimization, disinformation, environmental impacts of data centers, and dual-use risks of emerging technologies.

Under Michael’s leadership, Open MIC built a globally respected model for investor-led advocacy on technology and human rights—work that Audrey will continue to expand.

She succeeds Michael Connor, Open MIC’s founding Executive Director. Michael will continue supporting the organization as senior adviser and project director.

“I certainly think that investors are one of the last really strong bulwarks against the unconstrained development of this new technology," Mocle says.

Instead, employers are simply masking politically and economically motivated downsizing as "inevitable AI progress." Even worse, legislators are intentionally failing to pass laws that will protect workers if AI does come for their jobs.
