This podcast examines the crucial intersection of AI governance and AI literacy. In it I argue that effective AI governance, exemplified by initiatives like the EU AI Act, requires widespread AI literacy to ensure understanding and responsible use of AI technologies. The hosts discuss Dr Neil Hopkin's exploration of global disparities in both governance frameworks and literacy initiatives, emphasising the need for inclusive and adaptable strategies. Case studies illustrate the ethical challenges and societal implications of AI, highlighting the urgency of fostering critical thinking and ethical decision-making skills through education.
