Listen to ADAPT academic Prof. Aphra Kerr (University College Dublin) on the latest episode of the For Tech’s Sake podcast. In this episode, the conversation focuses on AI literacy and the need for clearer, more accurate language when talking about artificial intelligence. Hosts Elaine Burke and Kelly Earley unpack common misconceptions around AI and explore how the way we describe these technologies shapes public understanding.
Prof. Kerr also discusses the AlgoWatch project, which works to improve algorithmic and AI literacy among young people. The initiative helps teenagers better understand how algorithms influence the content they see online and supports more informed digital citizenship.
AlgoWatch is part of a wider European effort to educate the public about the challenges and opportunities of AI, funded through the Creative Europe programme.
