In 2023, Phaedra Boinodiris and Beth Rudden co-authored AI for the Rest of Us because they saw a dangerous gap: critical information about AI was being systematically left out of the conversation. Now, as the hype cycle crashes into reality, that missing information is coming to light—and the timing couldn't be more urgent. Join IBM's Trustworthy AI leader and the CEO of Bast AI for an honest conversation about what's actually happening in AI deployment right now. Phaedra will share what she's learning from teaching AI literacy globally through layers of impact analysis and functional requirements mapping. Beth will discuss what it actually takes to build certainty into AI systems—and why most organizations still don't understand what they're asking for.
