Concern & critique

1 expert

Risks, limits and unintended consequences.

“"AI literacy" is like "cigarette literacy" explaining how to light up with swagger. What we need is critical AI literacy (see olivia.science/ai/ from @olivia.science), which is a completely different curriculum. One that is liberating.”

Research & technical analysis

1 expert

Evidence, methods and technical implications.

“@olivia.science of course has a great collection including a lot of her own research olivia.science/ai/”

Opportunity & adoption

1 expert

New capabilities, benefits and practical upside.
