Q10. Who do you believe will be the last group of people to experience AI as a "game-changer," and what specific purpose could AI serve to accelerate their inclusion? #DigiBlogChat

I’m all in - of course with AI. Learning about AI is key, and I love seeing how IT industry uses it to make companies more productive, while using their tools and apps to protect their data, and strengthen cybersecurity for companies.

A10. Most likely those affected by digital poverty, the homeless, indigenous people. Maybe inclusivity could be enhanced by using the tech for translation and education more effectively. For all the money being generated redirecting it to specific causes makes sense. #DigiBlogChat

A7. A quote I love from Joanna Maciejewska
"I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."

A10c The purpose we choose for AI today becomes the impact we live with tomorrow. If we build it with clarity, equity, and transparency, we get a future where technology doesn’t just work for us—it works *with* us. #DigiBlogChat

Yes, and certain industries may be slower to adopt, such as the construction industry. Many won't see/understand the benefit of using AI. #DigiBlogChat
A10a Remote, low-income and aging populations will be last to feel AI as a “game-changer.” To close the gap, AI must serve one purpose: empowerment—accessible health tools, translation, fraud protection, and hands-free interfaces that meet people where they live. #DigiBlogChat

A6. Interesting to see how this will play out as education treats AI as bad with the tools to detect and act as a disincentive not embrace it. In higher education it's more likely to be a valuable tool so needs to work out a new approach #DigiBlogChat

A8. I would love it if the output of AI were labeled as AI. Some people do this when creating AI videos, but not all. So that leaves us with the task of deciding what is and isn't AI! #DigiBlogChat

A4. Definitely about data and dominance. Google invests in AI to make ads even more targeted and keep users locked into its ecosystem - so we stay longer and advertisers keep spending. #DigiBlogChat

A7. The wise approach would be to take a risk-based view to protecting the assets of the business first. Intellectual Property is generated by humans not machines so keeping the competitive advantage means security before efficiency. #DigiBlogChat
