GDPeeps Teach AI

GDPeeps Teach AI to underserved communities.

In today's world, access to technology is not just a privilege but a necessity. However, the digital divide persists, leaving many behind in the fast-paced evolution of the digital age. Bridging this gap requires innovative approaches, and one promising avenue is through the democratization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) education. As a Professor of Communication at a Community College, more than ever I witness the digital divide illustrated in underserved communities.

AI education isn't just about creating the next generation of tech experts; it's about empowering individuals with new skills to navigate and thrive in an increasingly digital world. By teaching AI, we equip people with the tools to understand, interact with, and contribute to the technologies shaping our society.

At its core, AI education fosters digital literacy. It demystifies complex concepts, making them accessible to people from diverse backgrounds. Whether it's understanding how algorithms work, learning to code, or grasping the ethical implications of AI, these skills empower individuals to engage meaningfully with technology.

Moreover, AI education can be a powerful equalizer. By providing access to AI training courses, we can level the playing field for underrepresented groups, including women, minorities, and those in underserved communities. These initiatives not only address the digital divide but may promote diversity in the tech industry, enriching it with a broader range of perspectives and ideas.

Teaching AI empowers those eager to learn how to participate fully in the digital age, drive innovation, and shape a brighter future for all. As we embrace the opportunities and challenges of the AI revolution, let us ensure that no one is left out. GDPeeps Teach AI, coming Spring of 2025.
