  AI & Us | Season 9 | Our Artificial Futures

  Aug 20, 202648 min

  This episode is a YouthForum and open circle discussion conducted by ListenUp youth team as part of our Season 9, which centers around AI and the changes that are occurring because of the advancement of artificial intelligence. During this episode we sit together not just as a team but as a collective to address and reflect on our own impacts and resolutions when it comes to how we use AI in our daily lives as creative media creators and producers, but also as young adults. We discuss the need to participate in AI advances as both a pro and a con when it comes to career advancement for some of us. Join us as we try to find our own middle ground with artificial intelligence and our impact. Note: about 6 months after this, Hiwi and Jordan went to the Take Back Tech conference in Atlanta Georgia, which both complicated and validated the conversation we had in this episode.
