In this video, Beth Rudden demo's Nurse Cat, one of our Social Learning Companions for nursing students. These companions are designed not only to enhance learning but also to deliver tangible business outcomes—a key focus for us: https://lnkd.in/eJUFJSQ8 Greg Rosenbaum, one of the brilliant minds behind SXSW EDU, captured some compelling reflections on the potential of AI in his recent write-up: Unique Reflections on AI’s Leap - #SXSWEDU2024. As Greg notes, the intersection of education and AI isn’t just theoretical—it’s happening now, and the impact is real.

AI touches our lives every day—but do we really understand it? Data is more than numbers; it’s a reflection of human experience. Yet, as AI becomes central to decision-making, many of us feel left out of the conversation. The truth is, we need diverse perspectives—from all roles and skillsets—shaping the AI of tomorrow. That’s the message of AI for the Rest of Us by Phaedra Boinodiris and Beth Rudden: 📖 Learn what humans do best vs. what machines excel at. 🌟 Explore why accountability, fairness, and transparency matter in AI. 🤝 Discover how trust in AI is a socio-technical challenge—not just a technical one. This book will empower you to understand the power structures in AI, advocate for responsible development, and help shape a future where technology reflects all of us. Curious? It’s time to step into the conversation. Link to book: https://hubs.ly/Q02Yt7Lv0 #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #EthicalAI #ExplainableAI

In the words of Dolores from Westworld: “I choose to see the beauty. To believe there is an order to our days, a purpose.” True magic lies not just in creating something remarkable, but in choosing to see and shape its purpose. In AI, creators are like magicians who can see beyond the surface of their work—the complexities, the biases, the hidden mechanics. But the real magic is in the choice to view this technology as a force for good, seeing the beauty in what it could become and shaping it for a meaningful purpose. At this critical juncture, we can choose to be better: to build technology that reflects the best of human nature, amplifying empathy, fairness, and inclusivity. #ExplainableAI #XAI #AI #BastAI
