AI for the Rest of Us

​AI is a way for us to understand and grasp knowledge, information and put data into context. It is being used globally to make all kinds of decisions that directly impact our lives and yet most understand very little about it. We start with the definition that data is an artifact of human experience. We need the widest variance of humans, irrespective of your role and skillset, developing AI so that everyone's story is a part of the models we are building. Join IBM’s own Phaedra Boinodiris as she uses her own hand-drawn comics to illustrate what she has learned in the space of AI ethics and governance, along with stories and examples of AI's and Gen AI's impact in industry and government.
