This webinar dives into what inclusion and efficiency means ensuring the development or building of systems that don’t require technical expertise to interpret—ensuring that trust, oversight, and agency are accessible to all users. Whether a rural health worker, a student, or a community organizer, each person should be able to understand what a system is doing and why.
This stage examines the opportunity to reflect on how power operates in AI: Who gets to say if it works? Who can question it? Who can stop it?
