Sherrell Dorsey is a data journalist and author who bridges the gap between technological innovation and human accountability. Currently serving as the host of the TED Tech podcast, she leads high-level inquiries into the intersection of AI infrastructure, climate justice, and labor. Dorsey recently launched a specific research series investigating the community impact of global data centers, moving the conversation from carbon debates toward the human stories of those living near physical facilities. As the author of Upper Hand: The Future of Work for the Rest of Us, she provides critical analysis on how emerging technologies affect economic mobility. Her work includes collaborative storytelling with environmental leaders at Planet Haus and interviewing global figures like digital minister Audrey Tang. By documenting both technical progress and necessary policy pushback, she serves as a strategic advisor for media builders centered on delivering exponential value through industry-specific data flywheels and investigative reporting.
