TEDxDavenport Talk:
‍Who Catches AI's Mistakes When You Don't Know What to Look For?
‍AI is now part of how millions of people find information, make decisions, and move through daily life, often before anyone has taught them how to question it. The danger is notthat people are careless. It is that AI may be the most confident, fluent, andhelpful tool we have ever encountered, yet it can be wrong in ways that leave no warning and no trace. Drawing on her work in Responsible AI, Padmini explores why AI literacy is no longer a niche skill, offering a simple framework to help people shift their relationship with AI from passive trust to active critical thinking. Because the future of responsible AI depends not just on how these systems are designed, but also on whether the people using them know when to question them.
