This week, Dave sits down with Julia — a proud Pasifika woman who built a global tech career in her mid-20s across Sydney, UK & USA at firms like HP, before coming home to help her community navigate A.I and adapt the changing world with Fibre Fale. Julia breaks down the confronting research that 60% of Auckland’s Pasifika workforce is at risk of being replaced by automation and technology — and what we can do about it. Hosted on Acast.
