The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Sinead Bovell earns The Visionary designation through the scale of her wager: that AI literacy is a democratic right, not a credential to be gatekept. She reframes AI as electricity rather than a chatbot, warns that disengagement means forfeiting a voice in the technology's direction, and runs WAYE across venues from the UN to underrepresented communities.
“AI needs to become a part of our everyday life, because that's the role it's going to play. So it needs to become a part of popular discourse and just general culture so more of us can kind of participate in how this technology moves.”
