Be a Node: AI Ethics, Governance and You

from How Women Use AI Hosted by Mercy

What happens when AI is built without women in the room? Host Mercy sits down with Louise Humpington, lawyer, international development specialist and AI ethics advocate, for a conversation that is equal parts eye-opening and surprisingly practical. Louise brings a perspective too often missing from AI spaces: one shaped by human rights, lived experience, and a firm belief that this conversation belongs to all of us. They cover AI bias, real-world harms, the healthcare tool that almost got it dangerously wrong, and a concept called the mycelium network that will change the way you think about AI governance. Louise also shares how she uses AI every day to manage ADHD, navigate parenting, and stay accountable in her work. Plus, what every woman building with AI tools needs to know about IP and code ownership before it's too late. If you've ever felt like AI is happening to you rather than for you, this one is for you. And Louise's parting message? You're already part of this network whether you know it or not. So be a node!
