From AI Literacy to Advocacy : Margaret Colling

After our first episode with Professor Dianne Willcocks, we established a key point; a knowledge gap exists about the risks and benefits of AI, especially amongst older adults. What happens when you bridge that gap?

In our second episode, we invite Margaret Colling, a former librarian and one of the 11 members of the UK public, chosen to be inducted into "People's Panel on AI" in 2023. Through a facilitated deliberation process, the panel put forward recommendations for the government, industry, academia, and civil society.

Since her participation, Margaret has actively advocated for the public's role in addressing the potential ethical and societal risks of AI. In this episode we unpack the many conversations, perspectives, and emotions Margaret has experienced on the societal impact of AI. Listen in to learn more about her newly found purpose; advancing the conversation on the safety of AI.
