This whole symposium is very useful on how to approach AI with your full critical faculties: head, heart, and soul.
Really enjoyed & honoured to be part of the Critical AI Literacy Symposium yesterday. Also @lucyavraamidou.bsky.social & @miquelpt.bsky.social (and others) spoke about their wonderful work too. Big thanks to @irisvanrooij.bsky.social, Leo & Barbara for organising. ✨
