AI-powered tools offer incredible potential to enhance efficiency and creativity, from sparking ideas to delivering final results. However, the most advanced AI still requires critical evaluation – and fact-checking information generated by these tools is key to using them effectively. Common Sense Media is taking a proactive approach to responsible AI by providing clear and insightful "nutrition labels" for popular platforms like Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude.

In today’s world, digital access has the power to shape one’s quality of life: from their health, to their education, to their career path, and overall ability to navigate society. The “digital divide” is not merely a resource or technical issue — it stems from deeply entrenched, generational injustices at what Dr. Nicol Turner Lee calls the ”critical intersectionality between race, place, and space.” In her newly released book, “Digitally Invisible: How the Internet is Creating the New Underclass,” Dr. Turner Lee provides a comprehensive history of why and how digital access has become a privilege when it should be a fundamental right. Complete with moving stories from the communities shaping the American fight for digital justice, she paints a picture of what digital dignity looks like and how we can achieve it. Grab your copy today (https://lnkd.in/gtANah4Y) and join us on Friday, September 6th at 12:00 PM EST for a special edition conversation between Dr. Nicol Turner Lee, author and Senior Fellow and Director at the #CenterForTechnologyInnovation at The Brookings Institution, and Vilas Dhar, President of the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes accounts of the lived experiences that brought the book to life, why this topic needs to be tackled in tandem with other equity issues, and how “hidden figures” across the nation are paving a path to a more digitally just future for everyone. #AIEquityLab #DigitalDivide #DigitalJustice #Equity #TechForGood #CivilSociety
