E69 | AI Literacy for All with Phaedra Boinodiris | Pondering AI

Phaedra Boinodiris minds the gap between AI access and literacy by integrating educational siloes, practicing human-centric design, and cultivating critical consumers.

Phaedra and Kimberly discuss the dangerous confluence of broad AI accessibility with lagging AI literacy and accountability; coding as a bit player in AI design; data as an artifact of human experience; the need for holistic literacy; creating critical consumers; bringing everyone to the AI table; unlearning our siloed approach to education; multidisciplinary training; human-centricity in practice; why good intent isn’t enough; and the hard work required to develop good AI.

Phaedra Boinodiris is IBM’s Global Consulting Leader for Trustworthy AI and co-author of the book AI for the Rest of Us. As an RSA Fellow, co-founder of the Future World Alliance, and academic advisor, Phaedra is shaping a future in which AI is accessible and good for all.
