Here’s why AI literacy is important 👇🏾 Black students who learned about AI’s true cost - to communities, workers, and the environment - shifted from fear to critical awareness. They discovered how AI impacts everything from prison labor to environmental justice to working conditions in the Global South. Meanwhile, new marketing research reveals that companies actually profit more when they maintain AI’s ‘magical’ appeal than when users understand how it works. The less people know about AI’s real capabilities and limitations, the more likely they are to adopt it without question. This isn’t a coincidence. And it’s exactly why I’m passionate about helping people build AI literacy - so you can make informed choices about these tools that increasingly shape our lives.
