People tend to misunderstand the real risks of AI: that without careful, democratic and transparent design, AI systems can perpetuate or even amplify societal biases. As AI continues to transform societies, reshape economies, and impact everyday life, learn how to communicate about it in ways that recognize risks and opportunities.
