The AI Literate Global Citizen | Melissa Drew | TEDxHagerstownWomen

Each day, we generate a staggering 120 zettabytes of data globally, and this figure is projected to grow exponentially year after year. However, a 2023 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center revealed that 44% of Americans do not believe they regularly engage with Artificial Intelligence (AI). In reality, AI is already deeply embedded in nearly every aspect of our daily lives, whether we are aware of it or not. Women, driven by their curiosity and willingness to explore, play a crucial role in shaping how AI impacts our world. As we adapt to this evolving landscape, it becomes increasingly clear that women's resilience is positioning them as a formidable force within the AI sector.
