No matter which way you turn, everyone seems to be talking about AI.
You may be hearing big claims about its limitless potential. You may be
reading sharp critiques about AI corporate powers, algorithmic bias, and
environmental harm. You may see your peers suddenly become an overnight
AI expert and feel anxious that you might be falling behind. You may be
wondering what your role is in all of this, and feel the pressure to
figure it all out as quickly as the world seems to demand it.
Regardless of where you stand, one thing is clear: the impact of AI is
already being felt by many, and it's spreading rapidly.
AI Strategy Lab for Social Justice Advocates is a live, online learning
series designed for change agents who want to understand AI with more
groundedness, clarity, and rigor. We are here to slow down the panic
and give you a clear place to process the complexity. Across four live
sessions, we will move beyond hype, panic, and abstract concern to
building a solid foundation for understanding what AI is, how it works,
and how to make sense of the range of opportunities and harms that exist.
We will examine concrete case studies, practice making complex decisions
around AI usage, intervention, and accountability, and restore agency by
creating practical options beyond all-or-nothing. You will leave with
better questions, immediately useful tools, and more confidence to
participate in shaping our future.
AI systems are already being embedded into schools, workplaces, media, and
everyday decision-making at a speed and scale we simply cannot ignore.
This series is an invitation to locate yourself in the struggle.
Your expertise already matters.
This course will help you understand where and how to use it.
