#21 How to ensure your research benefits the greatest number? with Colin de la Higuera

from R&D Unplugged · host Learning Planet Institute

In this episode, we explore a personal and professional journey beyond the code. Our guest, Colin de la Higuera, shares the realization that guiding research toward human values is not something that can be improvised; rather, it has become a vital field of research in its own right. We move beyond the personal narrative to examine the critical interactions between Artificial Intelligence and the sharing of knowledge. With a primary focus on education, we discuss how we can intentionally steer AI to empower learners and democratize information, rather than letting it be defined by market forces alone.
