From accessibility to health and education, artificial intelligence (AI) is driving fresh ideas and transformative advancements, unlocking new possibilities for everyone. But how can we ensure the next generation has the knowledge and tools to shape the future of AI?
In a new Fast Company opinion article, Samsung Electronics America’s CMO, Allison Stransky, shares insights on bridging AI literacy gaps and how businesses must step up by supporting education and expanding access to AI knowledge, tools, and career opportunities for all.
The unity of creativity and the scale of AI has a special appeal for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who crave authenticity and individuality. As the native AI generations, they engage with it as a tool for their own individual creative expression and learning. Samsung has a unique perspective on how these cohorts are eager to embrace AI’s power for good. Gen Z and Gen Alpha students participating in Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow STEM competition for public middle and high school students are using AI to create solutions that drive positive change.
But as AI becomes more ubiquitous, equitable access to AI knowledge and tools remains a challenge. The business community, which will be hiring its future workforce from the Gen Z and Gen Alpha population, must step up to close these gaps in knowledge and resources by championing AI education. According to Allison, “We all have a responsibility to play a pivotal role in ensuring AI’s transformative potential remains accessible and beneficial to all, starting with advocating for education that demystifies AI and bridges the knowledge gap.”
