The Learning Curve podcast is highlighting the research work of The University of Baltimore's Center for AI Learning and Community-Engaged Innovation (CAILI) to identify helpful and equitable uses for AI in all kinds of local institutions—schools, city government, the private sector, neighborhoods, and so on.
Hosted by Jeff Young, the episode describes its reporting on CAILI's recent AI Summit like this: "Colleges around the country are starting to teach their students and faculty AI literacy, and guide them to ethical and productive uses of AI. What if the campuses worked to share those skills with the surrounding community as well? That's the premise of an unusual AI center at the University of Baltimore, which recently hosted a citywide town hall on AI bringing together city officials, local business leaders, folks from community organizations, professors, and just curious people in the city. They heard from enthusiasts and skeptics, who had big ideas for how to manage the rush of AI into communities across the country."
On the podcast, Dr. Jessica Stansbury, CAILI's founding director, says: "[If] you think about all of those different connecting pieces, which right now are really kind of siloed and fragmented, if we can get them all together, and then get coordinated action forward, I think we could be a leading city, because we have all those pieces already here. We just need someone to help us put them together and show us how to move forward."
